Appearing on over 200 recordings, Charnett Moffett is a veritable bass legend and has one of the most distinguished careers in jazz. A classically trained pianist before playing guitar, Stanley Jordan wanted greater freedom in voicing chords on his guitar, so he applied piano principles to do so. Cyrus Chestnut first studied piano at the age of five. He graduated from Berklee with a degree in jazz composition and arranging. Chestnut worked with a number of top-notch musicians. One of the most in demand jazz drummers in the world today, Jeff “Tain” Watts joined the Wynton Marsalis Quartet in 1981 and proceeded to win three Grammy Awards with the ensemble. A true jazz innovator, Watts never fails to deliver the percussive magic that has been his trademark.
