A consummate, inventive, endlessly entertaining artist at work.
LA Times

A fearless improviser who seeks out equally intrepid collaborators, San Francisco jazz singer Madeline Eastman strips a lyric bare to reveal unspoken secrets and unanticipated meanings. With the intensity of a torch singer and the chops of a post-bop saxophonist, she's forged a singular approach unlike any other vocalist on the scene, in what the Los Angeles Times describes as "A prime example of what jazz singing in the 21st century can be."

Porter has built a reputation as a musician's musician, a knowledgeable, inventive, and sophisticated player with a remarkable sense of time and gorgeous keyboard facility.

Bassist Zach Ostroff straddles the jazz, classical, and rock worlds in his work as a leader, sideman, and soloist, performing all over the world.

Drummer Hamir Atwal is a driving force in the Bay Area music scene. He has played world-wide but fortunately he calls the Bay Area home
