“Mara Kaye’s voice bears a resemblance to Mamie Smith or Sippie Wallace, though with slower tempi, hers is a more introverted style, to which she adds a Betty-Boop-like coy, knowing coquetterie, and a subtlety not apparent on the original records.” -- Seth Gilman, New York City Music Culture Journalist, Examiner.com...

Terry Waldo is considered one of America's premier performers and presenters of Ragtime and Early Jazz. Known for his virtuoso ragtime and stride piano playing, charming vocals, and disarming wit, he is the protégé‚ of the legendary Eubie Blake, who called Waldo "an extension of my own musical self." Waldo has played countless New York jazz clubs, including the legendary Cookery, Hanratty’s and Michaels’s Pub where he produced and starred in nine critically acclaimed musical revues. He has appeared in concerts worldwide, including the Grand Parade du Jazz in Venice, George Wein’s JVC Jazz Festival at Carnegie Hall and Jazz At Lincoln Center. He recently appeared with the New York Pops at Carnegie Hall where he performed the world premier of “The Eubie Blake Concerto.”
Says Wynton Marsalis in his introduction to Terry Waldo's book, This is Ragtime, "He teaches Ragtime, he talks about Ragtime, he plays it, he embodies it, he lives it, and he keeps Ragtime alive"
“Jim Fryer began his career as age 16 in the Boston area. In the more than 3 decades since, he has toured internationally; recorded as a bandleader and sideman; and played television, radio, theaters, jazz clubs, and concert halls in a variety of musical settings. First and foremost an exceptional jazz trombonist at ease in any style, he has become especially noted as one of the foremost traditional jazz exponents on the scene today”
"A fine supportive player (whether on soprano saxophone, trombone, drums or banjo), John Gill grew up in the same neighborhood that Tony Sbarbaro of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band lived; Sbarbaro has long been his main influence on drums. Gill gained early experience playing with Tony Parenti and grammy winning, Vince Giordano playing drums, banjo and soprano saxophone. A musician of many instruments, John Gill has played alongside some of the greatest musicians New York has had to offer"
