Stefan Gaspar, Saxophone, Guitar, Composer

Stefan Gaspar is an accomplished saxophonist and guitarist, an unusual combination. To make it even more unique, he is also a great song writer and composer. Stefan got his musical start at Berklee College of Music in Boston.

To date, he has released eight CD's under his own name or with his own band, The Jazz Factory. His latest and greatest: Stefan Gaspar "breath". While he respects the tradition, he thinks that Jazz needs new songs and new ideas. That's why he writes songs and composes original music with a contemporary twist.

Andy Hall, Bass

Andy has been with me since the very beginning. We are almost neighbors. He lives just two blocks away. (He likes to go home during rehearsal breaks and take naps). Andy has played with a litany of great musicians.  He is equally at home on the big baby (the double bass) as on the electric (which naturally had to have a couple of extra strings on it for extended range). I am thankful that I can play with such a great musician.

Joey Gulizia, Drums

Music is a prerequisite in Joey’s great Italian family. Joey knows more about music than I do. We have great fun trying out different feels for songs until they stick.  “What are you playing?” “It’s Joey’s Special Samba Feel”. This kid can groove! His musical accomplishments are too numerous to list here. Needless to say he is the drummer on the “A” list of every musician in the State.
