Jeff “Tain” Watts – drums
Paul Bollenback – guitar
James Francies – piano
Chris Smith – bass
Gary Thomas – tenor saxophone
Jeff “Tain” Watts is one of the most in demand jazz drummers in the world today. Jeff Watts majored in classical percussion at Pittsburgh’s Duquesne University, where he was primarily a timpanist, followed by enrollment at the Berklee School of Music, where he pursued jazz studies alongside such talented players as Branford Marsalis, Kevin Eubanks, Greg Osby, Aimee Mann, Steve Vai and Marvin “Smitty” Smith. Jeff joined the Wynton Marsalis Quartet in 1981 and proceeded to win three Grammy Awards with the ensemble. Watts left Wynton Marsalis in 1988. After working with George Benson, Harry Connick. Jr. and McCoy Tyner, he joined the Branford Marsalis Quartet in 1989. Jeff has worked in the film and television industry as both a musician on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and as an actor, Rhythm Jones in Spike Lee’s “Mo Better Blues”. Jeff joined Kenny Garrett’s band after returning to New York in 1995 after three years in LA on the Tonight Show.
Along with explosive power, blinding speed and mastery of complex rhythms and time signatures, Watts brings a rare sense of elegance, tried-by-fire composure, and a gritty street funk to his music. His artistic ingenuity expresses itself in his incomparable technique, sweltering sense of swing, and an extraordinary ability to imbue his music with majestic grace and elegant repose. A true jazz innovator, Watts never fails to deliver the percussive magic that has been his trademark since his emergence on the contemporary jazz scene.

Chris Smith is a bass player, whose played music professionally for over 25 years. Whether it be electric/upright bass, vocals, or guitar, contributing to the roots music scene is his goal as a performer, song writer and session player.
Gary Thomas, widely acknowledged as one of the best saxophone players in the world, established himself in the 1980s as one of the most jarring soloists of his generation. Thomas has worked with John McLaughlin, Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Jim Hall, Dave Holland, Wayne Shorter, Ravi Coltrane, Cassandra Wilson, Wallace Roney, Miles Davis, Steve Coleman, as well as numerous other premier jazz musicians. He also served as Director of Jazz Studies at the Peabody Institute in Baltimore.

Founded by Tim Hauser in 1972, the current group features Janis Siegel (alto), Alan Paul (tenor), Cheryl Bentyne (soprano), and newcomer Trist Cureless (bass), who replaced Hauser following his passing in 2014. The group remains a cornerstone for great pop and jazz hits, a legacy that the group has cemented since their first recording. The legendary quartet has been awarded 8 Grammy Awards of 20 nominations and has been inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.
Celebrating their 30th Anniversary, DIVA – an ensemble of 15 extremely talented and versatile musicians who just happen to be women. The inspiration of DIVA came from Stanley Kay, one-time manager and relief drummer for Buddy Rich. In 1990. Kay was conducting a band in which Sherrie Maricle was playing the drum. Stanley immediately picked up on her extraordinary talent and began to wonder if there were other women players who could perform at the same level. In, 1992 the search was on, and through nationwide auditions the foundation for DIVA was poured. What emerged is the dynamic music force that holds forth the present day

Jazz innovator Steve Turre, composer, arranger, trombonist, and conch shell player, has consistently won both the readers’ and critics’ polls in JazzTimes, Down Beat, and Jazziz for Best Trombone and for Best Miscellaneous Instrumentalist (shells). He grew up in the San Francisco Bay area where he absorbed daily doses of mariachi, blues and jazz. While attending Sacramento State University, he joined the Escovedo Brothers salsa band, which began his career-long involvement with that music genre. In 1972 his career gained momentum when Ray Charles hired him to go on tour. A year later, Mr. Turre’s mentor, Woody Shaw, brought him into Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers. After his tenure with Blakey, Steve went on to work with a diverse list of jazz, Latin, and pop musicians, including: Dizzy Gillespie, McCoy Tyner, J.J. Johnson, Herbie Hancock, Lester Bowie, Tito Puente, Mongo Santamaria, Van Morrison, Pharoah Sanders, Horace Silver, Max Roach, and Rahsaan Roland Kirk. The latter introduced hum to the seashell as an instrument. Since his tour through Mexico City with Woody Shaw, he has incorporated seashells into his diverse musical style. In addition he has been performing as a member of the Saturday Night Live Band since 1984,
