Lisa Keating vocal

Lisa
is happy to be back at the microphone. Bitten by the jazz bug in the
cradle, this California native has performed for audiences from Japan to
Mexico, taking a break from the stage after becoming a mom in 2001.
Longing to integrate music and motherhood, Lisa started the California
Lifestyle New Media Magazine, EncinoMom.com. where she regularly appears in the California Living episodes produced for the magazine.

David Edelstein piano

David is an accomplished bassist and
jazz piano player whose musical career has spanned 3 decades. The lists
of pros who have tapped David for his talent reads like a who’s who of
the music industry. From touring with the legendary Buddy Rich Big Band
at the tender age of 21 to playing on recordings and live concerts of
Frank Sinatra, Paul Anka, the Osmonds, Tom Jones, Gloria Trevi, Wayne
Newton, Edie Gormé, Kenny Rankin, Peggy Lee, Harry James’ Orchestra,
John Klemmer, Phil Upchurch, Ray Pizzi, Lee Ritenour, and Frank
Strazzeri. This being LA, there have been, TV shows, commercials and
movie scores, too – too numerous to mention.

With a Bachelor’s Degree in Jazz
Studies (Piano Performance) at California State University and a
Master’s Degree in Music under his belt, David has trained with some of
the premiere jazz piano talents in Los Angeles including Terry Trotter,
Clare Fischer and Victor Feldman. Not just a great player, David can
teach, too with a teaching studio in his home for adult jazz pianists
and roles as a Teacher Associate in the Music Department at California
State University Los Angeles as well as being the faculty jazz piano

Brenton Kossak bass

Music is the best. That is the only
thing Brenton M. Kossak is really convinced about. After studying bass
performance at California State University Northridge with Oscar Meza,
Brenton has been making a living as a multi-instrumentalist throughout
the greater Los Angeles area. When not playing jazz with wonderful local
musicians, you can see him performing with the rock-and-roll-comedy
troupe, Lost Moon Radio (www.lostmoonradio.com), or coaching young musicians at the Santa Monica Youth Orchestra (www.santamonicayouthorchestra.org).
