Vocalist, Wendy Vernon-Dzaman, an honors voice graduate from Mohawk College in Hamilton, Canada, began as a student of opera under the direction if noted international impresario Leta Classen.  Jazz voice quickly became her first love, as she starting getting more calls to sing with local groups in the jazz clubs and resorts in and around Hamilton. Soon Wendy was studying with jazz greats, Terry Basom and Dave McMurdo.  Wendy is not just another pretty voice; she has recently been accepted at Denver University where she is pursuing a BA degree in a new and innovative program, Law and Society
 
Joining WJO is one of the region’s finest musicians, Gene Smookler, on Baritone sax. Smookler returned to Denver after a successful music career in Las Vegas. He also toured with big bands such as Woody Herman, Lionel Hampton, Louie Bellson and Sy Zentner.
