Michael Thomas
Michael Thomas has studied music from an early age, starting piano at five years old and saxophone at ten. Thomas’ career has taken him to venues throughout North and Central, and South America, as well as Europe and Australia. In 2010 he was recognized by DownBeat Magazine in the 33rd Annual Student Music Awards as the winner of “Best Original Song” for his composition Refract. From 2009-2011, Thomas performed weekly at Wally’s Jazz Café in Boston with trumpeter Jason Palmer, and he is featured on Jason’s SteepleChase release, Nothing to Hide. In April 2011, Thomas independently released his debut album The Long Way, featuring eight of his original compositions.
Clovis Nicolas
After having established himself as a first-call bass player on the European scene (performances with Dee Dee Bridgewater, Brad Mehldau, Michel Legrand,..), jazz bassist Clovis Nicolas moved from France to New York in 2002. Since then, he has shared the stage in numerous venues (Jazz Standard, Smalls Jazz Club, Blue Note, 55 Bar, Kennedy Center, Smoke, Jazz Gallery, Birdland, Alice Tully Hall, Dizzy’s Club...) with some of today's most prominent jazz musicians, such as Grant Stewart, Harry Allen, Branford Marsalis, Curtis Fuller, Benny Powell, James Williams, Peter Bernstein, Joe Magnarelli, Sacha Perry, Sachal Vasandani, Simon Shaheen, Carl Allen, Jane Monheit, and Dan Nimmer.
Christopher Ziemba
The winner of the 2011 Jacksonville Jazz Piano Competition, 25 year-old pianist, composer, and arranger, Christopher Ziemba, is already receiving widespread critical acclaim.
After Ziemba made his debut in March 2009 as a guest artist on Marian McPartland’s famed radio broadcast, Piano Jazz, David Lyon of National Public Radio reported: “Knowledgeable beyond his years, Ziemba has developed the keen sensibilities and musical awareness of a great musician.” Most recently, in March 2011, Chris was chosen to participate in the Advancing Jazz Improvisation Master Classes with jazz icon Brad Mehldau. Zembia is currently a member of the Juilliard Jazz Artist Diploma Ensemble, participating in performance and educational outreach tours world-wide.
Alex Wintz
From Switzerland to Singapore, Monterrey to Montreux, guitarist Alex Wintz is quickly becoming a name in the international jazz community. His lyrical approach and original sound reflects his reverence for the past and high hopes for the future of the art form. Wintz can be heard performing at jazz clubs and festivals throughout the city and elsewhere including Jazz at Lincoln Center, Small’s, the Jazz Standard, Cornelia Street Cafe, and the Blue Note.
