    Joey DeFrancesco  

    Today DeFrancesco is regarded by organ
    aficionados as the baddest B-3 burner in the
    business (a claim supported by his five consecutive
    DownBeat Critics Poll awards for 2002, 2003, 2004,
    3005and 2006).  With over 20 solo releases and
    historic associations with legends such as Miles
    Davis, Jimmy Smith, Bobby Hutcherson, Elvin Jones
    and John McLaughlin, DeFrancesco's place in the
    idiom’s history is cemented.

    Alex Pangman

    A unique and powerful vocal presence on the
    Canadian jazz scene, Pangman has enlivened
    many a venue with her unerring take on classic
    1930s era jazz, created when melody and
    substance reigned supreme. Toronto Life says,
    “her style has all the vivacity and steppin’ out
    glee of the jazz age”, and Radio Canada
    International calls her new record, “absolutely
    lively, romantic, joyous!”
