    .. ....is presently comprised of ..saxophonist, ..Joel Cruz..,.. guitarist, Joshua Marks.. and drummer, Rick Hawkins.. These formally educated musicians exhibit the youthful enthusiasm that has been evident in every generation of jazz artists. Each member is a fresh performer who draws inspiration from every past experience onstage as well as from varied cultural backgrounds, and each is ever aware of new lessons to be learned.
