Chuck Manning One of the busiest jazz tenor saxophonists  in Southern California, Chuck Manning has made countless appearances as a leader and in collaborations with other musicians such as the Los Angeles Quartet, and his long-time collaboration with Swiss multi-instrumentalist Isla Eckinger. Chuck Manning’s new TCB Music CD “Note’s from the Real  …is a great one” writes the LAWeekly. “Manning is a fine inventive tenor player. With Joe Henderson as his baseline, he plays a gorgeous ballad, can blow some brilliant and slightly understated post -bop frenzy, and can lay out the bop lines fresh”.

Sherry Williams Amidst a cacophony of musical extremes the buttery voice of Sherry Williams is an oasis in any madness our world offers. When you listen to her you realize immediately that she is a consummate artist - the real thing. Williams is what they called in the old days, a storyteller - she paints pictures with words. Yet she bridges the gap between the past and the present. Her masterful interpretation of the lyrics makes an over worn song meaningful, or brings an unknown song to life. She blends the straightforward elements of traditional pop with a decidedly mainstream jazz execution. She swings relentlessly, and sings ballads with exquisite phrasing and taste.

John Proulx
"Proulx is front and center, overflowing with fresh zeal and sparkling energy."
-- Christopher Loudon (Jazz Times, Dec. 2006 issue)
“You can tell immediately that John’s approach to jazz is both new and refreshing; showing great respect for both the melody and the lyric — a rare thing among jazz vocalists. I’ll bet that Chet Baker is looking down on John saying, ‘Yeah, John, go for it’.”
-- William Claxton (Jazz photographer)
“This introduction to young, talented John Proulx does a great job of showing us what he is about: Strong musicianship, great intonation, mellow swing and a soothing, almost vibrato- less Chet Baker like tone quality. Bravo, John!”
-- John Clayton
(3-time grammy nominated bassist, composer, and conductor)
"It's takes a lot of imagination as well as natural talent to make jazz standards sound fresh and vital. John sings and plays so beautifully and is an outstanding songwriter as well. He's simply a joy to hear"
