At
just 20 years old, Antonio Madruga dominates the piano like he has
been playing in dusty honky-tonks for decades. A true jazz piano
prodigy, he has been featured in Wynton Marsalis' YoungArts Master
Class (HBO), and Marsalis chose him as one of the “Who’s Got
Next” new generation of upcoming jazz artists. In 2009, at the age
of 16, he shared the stage with Paquito D’Rivera and Wynton
Marsalis at the White House performing for the Obamas. Bassist
Russell Hall performed professionally with several of South Florida's
esteemed musicians while still in high school and was recently named
by Wynton Marsalis as one of the future jazz greats. He is currently
on a full scholarship at Juilliard. Drummer Lawrence Leathers has
performed with many top jazz artists on the scene today, including
Mulgrew Miller, Cyrus Chestnut, Rodney Whitaker, Eric Reed, Vanessa
Rubin, Donald Harrison, Derrick Gardner, and an extensive stint with
the great trombonist Wycliffe Gordon, the Lansing Jazz Festival, Vail
Jazz Party, and the Detroit Ford International Jazz Festival.
