Guitarist and composer John Moulder brings his trio from Chicago. Moulder's latest relase Earthborn Tales of Soul and Spirit serves as a contemporary musical narrative; it was recently featured as part of the Made in Chicago concert series in Millenium Park. John has been a member of the Paul Wertico Trio for the past 15 years and has performed with Larry Gray, Eddie Harris, Bob Mintzer, Paul McCandless, Lyle Mays, Paul Wertico, Gary Burton, Niels Orsted Pederson, Arild Anderson, Bendik Hofseth, Kurt Elling, and Terry Callier.
Keyboardist Vijay Tellis-Nayak first gained national recognition by winning the Eastern Illinois University Young Composers Competition three years in a row while still in grammar school. As a member of the Chicago Federation of Musicians union, he regularly performs in the orchestra pit for productions such as Lion King, Wicked, and Imagine Tap. Vijay has performed with Randy Brecker, Jennifer Hudson, and Howard Levy, and he is the new face of the Hammond organ company's new line of SK keyboards. He is a regular on the Chicago jazz scene, appearing often at the Green Mill, Green Dolphin Street, House of Blues, and the Jazz Showcase.
Drummer Dane Richeson is Professor of Music at Lawrence University Conservatory of Music in Appleton, Wisconsin. Richeson has performed with such diverse artists as Bobby McFerrin, Geoffrey Keezer, Gunther Schuller, Joe Lovano, NDR Big Band of Germany, The Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society, Gordon Stout, and Nancy Zeltsman. He has been featured at festivals including Ravinia, North Sea and Montreux Jazz Festivals, the Central Conservatory Chamber Music Festival in Beijing, Ivana Bilic Marimba Week in Croatia, and several Zeltsman Marimba Festivals. Mr. Richeson has performed on numerous recordings including works on Blue Note Records, Naxos, CRI, Albany and others. He has lived in three distinctly different cultures: Ghana, Africa--studying the music and dance of the Ewe people with master drummer Godwin Agbeli and gyil with Kakraba Lobi; Matanzas, Cuba--studying with Afro-Cuban drummer Jesus Alfonso; and Salvador and Sao Paulo, Brazil--studying the drumming traditions of the State of Bahia with Giba Conceicao, and choro styles with Guello.
