Guitarist Mike Mele has been a mainstay of Boston’s jazz scene for over 30 years. Praised by The Boston Globe for his “unerring sense of swing,” he has worked with Roy Hargrove, Melvin Sparks and Tony Monaco.

Known for his melodic phrasing and rhythmic subtlety, bassist Joe McMahon has performed with many of Boston’s leading jazz artists. Cambridge Day called his playing “deep in the pocket and quietly compelling.”
