Charles Frommer began playing professionally in his hometown of Bloomington, Indiana before studying with Ran Blake at the New England Conservatory in Boston. Having freelanced in Boston and New York since then, he has done varied work in radio, television and film, as well as touring in and out of the country. In addition to playing with the Hudson Valley jazz groups Inner Door and the Eastern Standard Jazz Trio, he has worked with such diverse artists as Roswell Rudd, John Esposito, Cameron Brown, Natalie Merchant and Dr. John.

Francesca Tanksley is an internationally-acclaimed jazz pianist and composer, described as a "vivid presence" by Nat Hentoff, who breaks through traditional expectations with the power of her musical vision. As Peter Watrous said in The New York Times in a review of one of her recent performances, "Ms. Tanksley reworked the vocabulary of McCoy Tyner as if she had taken just one small aspect of his style and developed it into a full language. She gave the music color, her harmonies and chording adding surprise to the performance." Acknowledged as a fine soloist, composer, and accompanist with such notable groups as the Billy Harper Quintet and the Erica Lindsay Quintet, she has performed throughout Europe, East and Southeast Asia, Scandinavia and South America as well as in the United States, and appears on numerous CD releases of both groups. Her compositional talent is featured on two of the Billy Harper Quintet's CDs, as well as on her own recently released CD. Read more >
