JWOP Featuring:

Jeff Berlin: For over forty years Jeff's innovative approach to the electric bass has been heard on dozens of recordings and in performances with an unprecedented array of diverse artists. From Jazz/Fusion virtuosos such as Allan Holdsworth, Bill Bruford, Larry Coryell, Yes, Billy Cobham, Scott Henderson, Dennis Chambers, John McLaughlin, and Michael and Randy Brecker, Jeff has established himself as one of the world's most influential bass players.

Gil Goldstein: For nearly four decades, pianist/accordionist/producer/arranger Gil Goldstein has drawn the musical blueprint for some of the most prominent artists in jazz – and in so doing, has become a highly influential figure in his own right. Multi- Grammy Winner Gil Goldstein is known for his work with Billy Cobham, Pat Martino, Bob Mintzer, Wayne Shorter, Bobby McFerin, Al Jarreau and countless others.

Bil Molenhof: The creative impact and technical artistry of Bill Molenhof is well documented and substantiated throughout the percussion/performance world. Bill's contributions to vibraphone, marimba, and mallet synthesizer represent significant advances in their progress, development and evolution. As a percussionist, Bill has composed, performed and taught in 32 countries on 6 continents. Bill will be performing
on drums for JWOP.

Gabriela Guala: Gabriela is the 3rd-generation of a professional-musician family from Bahia Blanca. Gabriela has performed extensively in Argentina under the auspices of the Cultural Foundation of Patagonia, the University IUPA, Rio Negro, and as classical and jazz soloist in the USA at Lincoln Center and throughout Germany with her husband Bill Molenhof.
