Bassist, bandleader and producer Richie Goods released his seminal album with his band The Goods Project, entitled My Left Hand Man (2019). The consummate bassist’s third album as a bandleader, My Left Hand Man, is a tribute to Goods’ late mentor Mulgrew Miller.
“Mulgrew is the person that really put me on the scene and helped me establish a name for myself. It was a real learning experience playing with him.”
The bassist toured and recorded with Miller for nine fruitful years. Goods’ tenure with Miller spurred a career that would eventually see the bass player performing with luminaries Alicia Keys, Common, Chris Botti, Whitney Houston and the Headhunters to name a few.

Chien Chien Lu is a vibraphonist, contemporary percussionist, and composer whose passion for R&B grooves crystallizes into a fresh and distinctive approach to contemporary jazz.
Lu’s fierce authenticity and jazz mastery shine bright on her debut solo project, The Path (2020) which earned numerous awards and led to Lu’s being named the “vibraphone rising star” in Downbeat Magazine’s 69th Annual Critics Poll.
In 2017, she attended the prestigious Banff Jazz Residency under the direction of jazz pianist, Vijay Iye, where she first met jazz trumpeter Jeremy Pelt. From there, Lu began to perform regularly in the U.S. and was invited to join the esteemed Jeremey Pelt Quintet. In the next few years, Lu will continue to record and tour internationally with the Jeremy Pelt Quintet and her own band.
