Stephane Spira (Soprano & Tenor Saxophones), Marianne Solivan (Vocals), Steve Wood (Bass)
Sharing the stage and studio with jazz masters in both New York and Paris, saxophonist Stephane Spira has developed an “almost fragile sensibility” in his music, and a notable lyricism in his saxophone solos. With pianist Giovanni Mirabassi, Stephane released “SpiraBassi” in 2009 on the Bee Jazz label.

Alon Nechushtan Trio http://www.musicalon.com/
Alon Nechustan (piano), Peter Slavov (bass), Jacob Melchior (drums)
"Alon Nechushtan's trio displays compelling chemistry in abundance" says All About Jazz. Alon received his Master of Music degree from the New England Conservatory, studying piano, big band and jazz composition, in addition to study with the School for Improvisation in New York. As an active band leader Alon founded quintet TALAT in 2002. The ensemble is dedicated to his original works and recorded a CD on John Zorn's Tzadik Records mixed by the great Bill Laswell. Another Trio is in the post production stages and will be released in the fall.

Camila Meza http://www.camilameza.com/
Considered by the Chilean press as one of the “most fresh and interesting musicians of the last years”, Camila Meza recently moved to New York City to attend the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. As a vocalist and guitarist she belongs to a minority of jazz musicians who have the skills to play an instrument with great dexterity while at the same time maintaining a strong and prominent vocal presence. As a composer and arranger she has developed her own voice, turning music from Latin America, Brazil and jazz standards into her own unique rhythmic and harmonic perspective.

The French Connection performs a mix of jazz standards, bossa nova, and original arrangements of French tunes in a jazz style (Georges Brassens, Henri Salvador, E.Piaf, Michel Legrand, Yves Montand...).

At 21 Yotam won the prestigious "Israeli jazz player of the year" competition with his trio, and was asked to perform in Italy at the renowned Umbria Jazz Festival. The success of his highly acclaimed debut album, "The Arrival", enabled him to extensively tour throughout Europe and the Middle East. In 2005 Yotam came to New York City on a scholarship to study at the New School for jazz and contemporary music. Soon after Yotam was selected as one of 10 top guitar players to participate in the semi finals of the distinguished Thelonious Monk guitar competition. Yotam is a regular on the jazz scene performing in many of the city's great venues alongside jazz greats, and touring with names such as Stealy Dan, the Sam Yahel Trio, and the “Dizzy Gillespie Alumni All-Star band”. Yotam released his third album on Jazz Legacy Productions in 2010.

YUKARI TRIO http://www.yukariflute.com
“Yukari is one of the most unique and talented flutists that I have ever encountered. She is bound to turn the improvised music on its ear….“ -Greg Osby
Flutist YUKARI has been gaining recognition within NYC’s music community as an innovative improviser. Now part of Greg Osby’s Inner Circle Music label. YUKARI is also quickly establishing herself as a uniquely gifted composer with a knack for hybridization – fusing world music, classical, chamber and modern Jazz establishing a sound which is very much her own.
