Paul Bley Keyboard Pioneer Paul Bley has had a profound decades long influence on piano, producing the brilliantly original music we have come to expect from this great maestro.	John Clark John Clark demonstrates loudly, clearly, and beautifully why he is not only everyone's first-choice French horn player (Gil Evans, Carla Bley, McCoy Tyner, and countless others) but also a brilliant composer, improviser, and orchestrator.
Bruce Ditmas You just can't sit still when Bruce Ditmas plays drums, creating music that is both forward-looking and pays respect to the jazz pioneers.	Steve Kuhn Steve Kuhn presents his sonorous piano in the unusual format of two different quartets, exploring all the nuances of love, and the seasons of romance we all experience.
Harold Land The esteemed and seasoned tenor vet Harold Land creates jazz recordings of drive, tensile strength and lush romanticism.	Alan Pasqua Pianist Alan Pasqua's compositions cover the whole stylistic spectrum from swing to bebop through today's polytonality and modality.
Gary Peacock Together with Bill Frisell, Gary Peacock creates original duet compositions that will surprise listeners with fresh interpretations of classic tunes.	Julian Priester & Sam Rivers Maestros Julian Priester and Sam Rivers mesh their free-spirited instincts with electronics that enlarge the palette and electrify the proceedings, a brass and reed fantasy distilled to its pure, swinging, melodic essence.
Ralph Simon Saxophonist and composer Ralph Simon leads an ensemble towards a heady mix of straight-ahead and more unusual pieces, leaving their musical imprint on a group of vivid and challenging compositions.	Bob Stewart Bob Stewart brings the tuba back to the modern ensemble. Through the use of various ensembles, Stewart traces the migration and evolution of the music we know today as jazz.
