About the artists
Hartford-based guitarist Rich Goldstein received his initial training at the Hartt school's Jackie McLean Institute of Jazz and completed his masters in jazz studies at Purchase College in New York. Rich plays in a grooving hard bop style with a modern tinge. Some of his main influences on the instrument are Wes Mongomery, Jim Hall, Joe Diorio, and Randy Johnston. more
Hailing from Osaka, Japan, the Hammond organist, Akiko Tsuruga has been a mainstay in the New York jazz scene since 2001. This talented young organist began playing the organ at the age of three and launched her career in jazz immediately after graduating from the Osaka College of Music. more
Drummer Rudy Petschauer was born in Vancouver BC 1958. While still in Vancouver he backed up notables such as Tal Farlow, Lew Tabackin, John Handy and Rene Rosnes. He also worked with the Glenn Miller Orchestra, Buddy Morrow and the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra, Akiko Tsaruga, and most of New York's leading jazz musicians. Rudy moved to New York in 1985 and joined Brother Jack McDuff's band in 1986 until his death in 2001. Rudy has also worked extensively with Fathead Newman.
