Frankie, aka Frankie Q, started playing drums and percussion in the church and began taking music seriously in hisjunior year of highschool where he joined a local band back home in Buffalo, New York. After high school he applied and got accepted to Berklee College of Music. It was not an easy journey, but he wouldn’t trade it for the world. Each setback and disappointment added to his music and has enhanced the story he tells via the drum. He doesn’t believe in overcoming, he believes in staying, fighting and showing up. Every experience adds to who you are and the story that you tell in your music, and choosing to play it and live in every moment.

TED HOWE TRIO

Ted’s natural persistence and relentless fascination of developing his craft dominated his life. He soon became not only a student at Berklee, but a professor of piano arranging, theory and improvisation — all before reaching the age of 24. He joined the faculty of Georgia State University where he assisted in developing its first jazz education program.

Ted has produced “An Evening Of Duke Ellington With Ted Howe & The Ruth Mitchell Dance Theatre”, a full fledged ballet featuring 21 dancers, choreographed by members of the Alvin Ailey Dance Company. The ballet music was entirely Ted’s arrangements of Duke’s music set to dance. Premiering in Atlanta to glowing reviews, the ballet was performed to sold out houses.

As a Summit Records artist he has released three albums and has performed with a long list of sixty-nine musicians and vocalists that included Henry Mancini, Diahann Carroll, Russell Malone, Lainie Kazan, Morgana King, Tiger Okoshi, Carol Channing, Rene Marie, Herb Pomeroy, Ed Thigpen, Billy Daniels, Mel Torme and more.
