John Esposito is a New York State native and grew up in a family steeped in musical tradition. John’s first performance experiences were playing harmonica in a blues band as a teenager. He attended SUNY Albany as a composition major .He spent several years after college in Albany as the house pianist at the Gemini Jazz café working with J.R. Monterose and Nick Brignola before joining the Arthur Rhames Quartet. Later, John formed Second Sight, a jazz quintet with Dave Douglas, Jeff Marx, Allen Murphy, Jeff Siegel, and Fred Berryhill. In the nineties John began working with the groups of Franklin Kiermyer and Eric Person as a pianist and arranger. John is on the faculty of Bard College and teaches piano, drums, ensembles, jazz theory, repertoire and advanced composition techniques.

Malcolm Cecil is a British jazz bassist and Grammy Award-winning record producer. A founding member of the UK’s leading jazz quintet of the late 1950s, The Jazz Couriers, he went on to join a number of British jazz combos led by Dick Morrissey, Tony Crombie and Ronnie Scott in the late 50s and early 60s. He later joined Cyril Davies and Alexis Korner to form the original line-up of Blues Incorporated. He later joined Robert Margouleff to form the duo TONTO’s Expanding Head Band, a project based around a unique combination of synthesizers which led to them collaborating on and co-producing several of Stevie Wonder’s Grammy-winning albums of the early 70s. Read more >
