Fearless pianist John Stetch pushes the edges of his jazz and classical training to fuse melodies from all around the world; from Mozart to Ukrainian folk music to TV themes. Originally from Edmonton, Stetch started piano late, at age 19, and is now a Steinway Artist and a 6-time Juno nominee. Stetch has played at the top New York clubs – Mezzrow, Smoke, Birdland, the Jazz Standard and just released his 15th CD – Vulneraville: The Vancouver Concert.

Cincinatti-born Steve Kortyka is a Yamaha saxophone artist who has been touring with Lady Gaga’s jazz project, alongside other jazz work. Philippe Lemm is Holland’s most in-demand drummer who studied Indian music extensively, and 25-year-old Rochester native Ben Tiberio has already played bass in the top clubs of New York City.
