Piano / Keyboards
Dan Haerle	Previous jazz piano professor at North Texas. He was like a father to me in my Denton years. Learning from him was inspiring philosophically as well as musically.
Guitar

Bass
Craig Butterfield	My closest collaborator at North Texas. A very achieved bassist who tours with Maynard Ferguson I still don't get how this guy excels in both jazz and classical worlds. "Santory Times" (lol)
