Jazz Music To Live By

Ilhan Saferali
From Vancouver, Canada, now in New York City, 22 year young Ilhan
has established himself as an artist and is pursuing studies
at The New School’s prestigious jazz program.

Gus Hurteau
"This was one of my favorite moments on the gig with
the great Gene Perla at the Deer Head Inn (at 24 years young).
I'm looking forward to great future things with this group!"

Gene Perla
At 85 years young, Gene has played with many great artists and continues to do so.
And he's totally excited with his new group of Tigers as they cover the essence
of jazz music from it's origins to today's explorations.

Willie Bowman
At 22, the youngest member of the Quartet, Mr. Bowman brings a deep understanding
of the fundamentals of jazz drumming along with a keen sense of time
using his elephant ears to support the dynamics of his surroundings.
