Skerik
Emerging from the Seattle music scene, saxophonist, Skerik, now spends most of his performance time sitting in with other talented artists. Called a "catalyst" for high-energy music, Skerik adds quick blasts and fast beats to freak the funk beyond its limits. Touring and recording most recently with New Orleans' funk ambassadors, Galactic and Stanton Moore, Skerik's improvisational style adds momentum to already rich grooves. Check out his recent work with the experimental supergroup Critters Buggin.

Charlie Hunter
Charlie Hunter began his musical career at age 12 in Berkeley, CA, when he bought his first guitar for 7 dollars. Taking lessons from Joe Satriani a few years later, Hunter began to experiment with all kinds of music before settling on jazz. Keeping the energy high with music from influences like James Brown and Stevie Wonder, Hunter is also able to bring the traditional jazz of John Coltrane and Charlie Parker while keeping the crowd on its feet. Working to introduce the younger generation to the beauty of jazz, Hunter has recorded with artists like Les Claypool from Primus, and has even covered a song by Nirvana. Now working with an 8-string guitar, Hunter is revolutionizing the concept of jazz.
