SATO-SAN TO vzniklo na začátku březnu tohoto roku, původně jako expertimentální projekt Tomáše Heriana a Oskara Töroka. Již v červenci pokřtili své první album Skinny, které je zdarma ke stažení na jejich webu. V srpnu se rozrostli o basáka Jaromíra Honzáka a nyní pracují na dalším albu.
TOMÁŠ HERIAN aka Drama Jacqua pochází z tradiční muzikantské rodiny. Narodil se 7.8. 1980 v Teplicích, v severních čechách, kde také absolvoval konzervatoř, obor bicí nástroje. Bicí soupravě se věnuje od útlého mládí. Jako bubeník je členem různých hudebních projektů (S.O.I.L, Segundo, Drama Jacqua, Feng Jung Song & Trio PUO, Montage, WNP, Vrtule1, Sketa Fotr...). Žije a tvoří v Praze. Specializací v jeho hře na bicí jsou groovy lámaných beatů ostřejšího tempa, často označované jako Jungle, Break nebo D..n..B. Jeho bubenickými vzory jsou hráči, kteří mají silné kořeny dnes již v nevyhraněném stylovém označení Jazz music. Mezi jeho zájmy patří samozřejmě i práce se zvukem, konkrétně hudební kompozice na poli elektronické hudby. Činností elektronického experimentátora se zabývá od konce devadesátých let.
OSKAR TÖRÖK Narozen v roce 1980 v Humenném. Studoval konzervatoř v Bratislavě, Košicích a Vyšší Odbornou školu Jaroslava Ježka v Praze. Momentálně studuje jazzovou Akademii v Katowicich. Spolupracoval s mnoha osobnostmi české i zahraniční hudební scény, jako jsou Matúš Jakabčic (Slovensko), Pavel Fajt (Česká Republika), Rich Perry (USA), Ingrid Jensen (Canada),David Dorůžka (CZ/FR),Petr Zelenka (CZ/FR), Jaromír Honzák (CZ). Je členem skupin NUO, Vertigo Quintet, MUFF, Zuzana Dumková Band, Ondřej Štveráček Quintet. Od roku 2005 je členem hudebního seskupení OPEN SEXTET, se kterým se zúčastnil prestižního jazzového festivalu v Montreux (Švýcarsko). V roce 2007 spolupracoval na cd Dua ''Tarafuki'' Auris.
JAROMÍR HONZÁK dokončil studium teplické Konzervatoře v roce 1982 a dále se vzdělával na Berklee College of Music v Bostonu. Vystupoval prakticky se všemi předními osobnostmi české jazzové scény a s mnoha mezinárodními umělci, jako Bill Hardman, Phil Wilson, Art Farmer, Victor Lewis, Amina Claudine Myers a Jorge Rossy.. Hrál na mnoha mezinárodních festivalech, včetně Sea Jazz Helsinki, Ingolstadter Jazztage, Leverkusener Jazztage, Jazz Jamboree Warsaw a Montreal International Jazz.
Jaromír zachytil svoji práci v roli bandleadera, basisty a skladatele na čtyřech deskách. Jeho skladby a nahrávky byly mnohokrát oceněny jak v ČR, tak v zahraničí. Jeho poslední dvě CD "A Question to All Your Answers" (Animal Music) a "Present Past" (Indies records) vyhrála Anděla roku za nejlepší českou jazzovou nahrávku roku (2007 a 2003). Jaromírova skladba "Constant Struggle" (z alba Present Past) je součástí The European Real Book (Sher Music).

TOM HERIAN alias Drama Jacqua comes from a family of musicians. He was born on August 7, 1980 in Teplice, Czech Republic, where he also graduated from musical conservatory, specializing in drums and percussion. He has been beating the drum set since early childhood and is currently involved in several musical projects (Segundo, Feng Jung Song & Trio PUO, Montage, WNP, Skete Fotr, S.O.I.L). He currently lives and makes music in Prague. It may be said that Jacqua's drumming specialty are grooves of broken fast-paced beats, often described as Jungle or D'n'B. He is inspired by players deeply rooted in today's rather broad and undefined style of jazz music. Furthermore, Tom Herian is extensively engaged in composition of electronic music and working with sound. He has experimented in this field since the end of the 90's. Herian's solo project in experimental electronic music, Drama Jacqua, is turning out to be the theme of the day. Yet another range of electronic experiment possibilities opens with the up and coming formation Montage, a balanced duet of samples and the voice of a young and promising singer, Klára Vytisková. In the future, Montage is to perform as a live band, combined with an electronic backbone. It would be most unfair not to mention the Segundo band, Drama being one of its founding members, employing the skills of an electronic magician here as well. The band is built on live performance (sax, bass, drums) and computer electronic music played out of a single audio deck. Nowadays, Jacqua focuses mainly on an electro-jazz-pop band called Soil. Soil is nothing new on Prague..s jazz scene. A new album is being released in spring.
OSKAR TÖRÖK was born 1980 in Humenné (SVK). After studies at the Classical Conservatory of Kosice and Bratislava, Slovakia moved to Prague where he studied at the Jaroslav Jezek Musical Conservatory. He has been engaged in many different projects ranging from dance music to bebop: NUO,
Vertigo Quintet, MUFF, DJ Blue, Jaromir Honzak, Alan Vitous, Miriam Bayle, Ondrej Stveracek quintet, Zuzana Dumkova Band, Pavel Fajt, Bucinatores tentet, Musica Vizita, Karel Ruzicka, Martin Zbrozek etc. Apart from playing the trumpet, Oskar is a fine piano player and composer.

Vertigo Quintet – Vertigo Quintet (Amplión Records, 2005)
Vertigo Quintet – Live U Staré Paní (Amplión Records, 2006)
NUO – Multimusic Minibigband (Arta 2HP, 2004)

JAROMÍR HONZÁK graduated from the Conservatory of Teplice in 1982, and completed additional studies at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. He has performed with virtually all of the major figures of the Czech jazz scene and with many international artists such as Bill Hardman, Phil Wilson, Art Farmer, Victor Lewis, Amina Claudine Myers and Jorge Rossy. He has performed at a number of international festivals including Sea Jazz Helsinki, Ingolstadter Jazztage, Leverkusener Jazztage, the Jazz Jamboree Warsaw, and the Montreal International Jazz.
Jaromír has documented his work as a bandleader, bassist and composer on four recordings. His compositions and recordings have been awarded numerous prizes both in the Czech Republic and abroad. His last two CD's "A Question to All Your Answers" (Animal Music) and "Present Past" (Indies records) were both awarded the Angel prize for the best Czech jazz CD of the year (2007 and 2003). Jaromir's composition "Constant Struggle" from Present Past is featured in The European Real Book (Sher Music).
