Saxophonist, clarinetist, composer, and arranger Jonathan Doyle lives in Port Townsend WA. Jonathan is committed to crafting original music as well studying the American musical traditions.
He strives to organize and be a part of bands whose music is rooted, yet distinct. And to play for listeners and dancers anywhere they’ll have him! Jonathan has had a career that has allowed him to perform professionally on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry, at Preservation Hall, on Austin City Limits TV show, at Jazz At Lincoln Center’s Midsummer Night’s Swing, in the famous Spiegeltent, at Chichen Itza, and major festivals such as Chicago Jazz Fest, Chicago Blues Fest, New Orleans Jazz Fest, French Quarter Festival in New Orleans, and many more.
Seattle-based saxophonist and clarinetist Jacob Zimmerman plays creative, swinging jazz for listeners and dancers. On top of leading “Jacob Zimmerman & His Pals” he has performed with jazz groups including Rachael & Vilray, the Jonathan Stout Orchestra, and The Fat Babies. His playing is melodic and spontaneous in the spirit of his heroes: Bix Beiderbecke and Lester Young.
Big tone and rock-solid rhythm have made Matt Weiner one of the busiest bass players in the Northwest. Inspired by the “prebop” bass players and their music, he’s slapping out a syncopated jazz feel on one tune, bowing a folksy melody on the next. Frequently performing upward of 200 shows per year, Matt can be spotted around Seattle and other places plucking, bowing and slapping his gut-strung bass with Jacob Zimmerman, Ray Skjelbred, Del Rey, Jonathan Doyle, Barton Carroll, Bric-a-Brac Trio, Squirrel Butter, Wayne Horvitz, Eli Rosenblatt, Casey MacGill and many others. He has also recorded and performed with The Todalo Shakers, The Hot Club of Cowtown, The Asylum Street Spankers, Butch Thompson, Becky Kilgore, Danny Barnes, Matt Munisteri, Jon-Erik Kellso, Rani Arbo and James Hill.
