NINA BECK began playing piano at age 5, and is a seasoned pianist, published songwriter, and performer around L.A. who has absolute pitch. She studied with renowned pianist John Lewis, Modern Jazz Quartet leader, and Terry Trotter, and counts legendary vocalist Ernie Andrews among her many credits.

MIKE FLICK, upright bass, is an accomplished, sensitive performer with many credits. He performs and tours around the world with noted big swing and dance bands. It would be hard to name a single American Songbook swing, jazz, or Latin tune that Mike can’t play in any key without music.
