Drummer, percussionist, keyboardist, composer, arranger, band leader and music educator Ronnie Burrage was born on October 19, 1959 in St. Louis, Missouri.
His style draws most notably from the musical genres of “jazz”, “funk” and “soul”. Burrage sang in The St. Louis Cathedral Boys Choir from ages seven to eleven, and had the opportunity to perform with Duke Ellington, one of the greatest musical figures to ever live, at the incredibly young age of only nine years. He was introduced to “jazz” by listening to music every day, which was typically presented to him by his mother, his uncles and grandparents. He played drums, percussion, piano and vibraphone, and sang in “funk”, “R&B”, and “jazz” groups, including “The Soul Flamingos”, “Fontella Bass”, “The Oliver Sain Band”, “Third Circuit & Spirit”,” Rainbow Glass” and “Expression Jazz Quintet”.
From the ages 15 to 17, Ronnie was a member of “No Commercial Potential” with keyboardist Mark Friedrick, bassist Darryl Mixon and guitarist Richie Daniels. They served as the opening act for pianist/keyboardist George Duke and Canadian “pop” singer/songwriter Gino Vannelli. Burrage played in clubs, concert halls, festivals and other assorted venues, including the annual “Afro Day in the Park” in St. Louis, Missouri. As a member of The St. Louis Metropolitan Jazz Quintet in the early 1980’s.

Wayne Escoffery is one of the most talented saxophonists in American jazz. A musician who respects the jazz tradition, but also looks beyond the smoky jazz clubs of the past. In addition to his own compositions and standards, he also interprets repertoire from classical music and other genres. This spring sees the release of the Wayne Escoffery Quartet's new album Like Minds, on which he collaborates with like-minded jazz greats such as trumpeter Tom Harrell and singer Gregory Porter.
Uri Gincel is one of the most sought-after and respected jazz pianists in Berlin. Gincel's style is strongly rooted in tradition, but he knows how to bring jazz into the modern age. His playing is dynamic, lyrical and above all full of energy and power! Born in Tel Aviv, Gincel came to Berlin in 2009 and quickly became an influential part of the jazz scene.
Darryl Hall is a jazz double bass player living in France. He learned his instrument the old-school way, self-taught, and only years later studied composition at the Manhattan Music School. This path enabled him to find a more intuitive approach to jazz music. It did him no harm at all, as he is now one of the most sought-after bassists in the world and even won the Oscar of jazz, the Thelonious Monk Bass Competition, in 1996.
