Rebecca Kilgore’s clear voice, floating lyricism, and heartfelt joy in songs familiar and obscure have made her a favorite on National Public Radio’s Fresh Air with Terry Gross and A Prairie Home Companion, and she has appeared at Carnegie Hall with Michael Feinstein. For three consecutive years, she has been invited to perform at the Mabel Mercer Cabaret Convention in Lincoln Center and Town Hall. Kilgore has recorded more than forty CDs.
Jazz pianist, composer, and arranger Randy Porter not only improvises sparkling melodies but is a memorable ensemble player. For over forty years, Tom Wakeling has put his bass to work in concert halls, jazz night clubs, and recording studios and at music festivals throughout the world.
