Kyle - saxes, vocals
Kyle was schooled in Dixieland music from his earliest days and was already a professional musician by the age of 12. His roots may be in Dixie, but Kyle has played with numerous groups and artists over the years in styles ranging from avant-garde, classical and straight-ahead jazz to big band, rock, heavy-metal, fusion and funk. The list of notables Kyle has shared the stage with is lengthy, and includes Manhattan Transfer, Dewey Redman, Bobby Shew, Steve Morse, Stu Hamm, Dave Gruisin, Big Country, Ernie Watts, Kowloon Honkers, Jerry VanDyke, Rick Derringer, and Slam Stewart. Looking back over an active professional career, Kyle has two personal favorites that he say pretty much sum it up, "I've played a song with the great Dizzy Gillespie, and I've busked in the streets of Taipei...both were unforgettable experiences."

Kyle plays all saxes, flutes and clarinets, and tinkers on bass, piano and drums.

Avi - guitars, lead vocals
Avi's pursuit of music has taken him around the globe. After a childhood spent studying classical guitar, Avi's first musical travels were to the London funk scene. Within a few years, his guitar took him across the pond, to the Guitar Institute of Technology in Los Angeles, and study of jazz. The next stop was Australia, where Avi settled in to become a fixture on the rowdy rocking & rolling pub circuit. As one half of the popular pub duo DNA Expose, Avi toured throughout the 90's. On a break to tour in Asia with Savage Garden chanteuse Anna Maria LaSpina, Avi met an American anthropologist. Suddenly, he was following her through damp rain forests and tropical island villages, playing command performances in Iban longhouses. He used the break to write his first album of original music, In Transit, later recorded at Tonebarge Studios in San Francisco while DIY releases by his jam band, AVI AND ME, shot up the online charts. Intrigued by tales of the Pacific Northwest, that's where he and the American anthropologist who became his wife eventually settled.
