sax, vocals, guitar, bass and drums, to 9 pieces, with the addition of keyboards and background vocalists; ensuring the perfect fit for venues large and small.
“To have your own sound and style is magic, that’s what Nick and Gayle have…”

to slide effortlessly in and out of each other’s musical space.
Their genre-bending compositions blend jazz, rock, soul, singer/ songwriter material, and even ska seamlessly to create a unique, high-energy take on modern jazz.

About
Each artist brings an impressive list of credits to this extraordinary musical collaboration.
(vocalist/composer)
has been singing professionally for 20+ years. She has had the honor of sharing the stage with Patti Austin, John Pizzarelli, and Clark Terry, among others. Her singing has taken her to the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, the North Sea Jazz Festival in The Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, New York City and Chicago's famed venues.
In contrast to the low, sultry rasp of the conventional jazz singer, this compact powerhouse with a four-octave range is a true "jazz soprano."
(saxophonist/composer)
has performed with such notables as Ray Charles, Nancy Wilson, Dave Liebman, and The Temptations to name a few, and is currently a member of Ramsey Lewis' Urban Knights. He has a Grammy nomination as featured soloist on Angel Melendez 911 Mambo Orchestra's recording. Nick has released two CD's as the leader of his own quartet. His latest CD "Gemini" (Blujazz 3339) has gathered rave reviews from the press and is currently playing on over 170 radio stations across the US and Canada.
Nick's playing exudes a sense of energy and freshness. His knowledge and respect for the tradition of jazz is evident - but he clearly wants to chart his own path.
