"I started playing alto because of my father. He would always be checking out Charlie Parker, and he was an amateur saxophone player himself. I grew up in Queens New York, and have had many teachers: Bobby Watson​, Frank West, Charles McPherson, George Coleman​, comprised some of my saxophone teachers...But my largest musical influence I would have to say is Barry Harris in terms of teachers that I've had."

"..our hard hitting remix of “Babes” by Saddle Creek’s own Icky Blossoms

was featured on a trailer for Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For. It was

definitely a pleasant surprise for us to see Jessica Alba looking badass

on screen with our track playing in the background. Checked that off our

list." - Seth "Serka" Warrick

“Teaching brings me the opportunity to learn in ways that being a student can’t. Holding space for the stories of others is a great privilege and joy. It calls me to be my highest self and allows me to be present with others. It’s through this presence that I have learned compassion and understanding, a gift bigger than anything I could give.” - Susi Amendola

     "In regards to music here in NYC, the music has a lot more edge. There are better players overall because players here HAVE TO be better. It's very competitive, and if you don't practice hard/play hard, you don't eat." - Nicholas Semrad

"My first piano teacher was my mom. Then I had a succession of college students, and eventually a classical piano teacher in high school and in my one year of college at Berklee. I never imagined I'd be a classical pianist professionally (I didn't have the patience) but I'm glad I studied it. " - Geoffrey Keezer

"I knew from that young point in my life I always wanted to be around music. One of my first memories, well a memory that continues to replay over and over in my mind, looking at all my parents vinyl records. I would find myself meticulously studying the physical album, i.e. album artwork, reading who engineered, produced, played on the record, lyrics, where it was recorded, basically dissecting an entire album." - Neal C Duffy  FIVE QUESTIONS with Front of House Sound Engineer for Neon Trees - Neal Duffy now on Maryxo.com

“When you walk into a room of beautiful and

“perfect” people, its hard not to scan your self and think about how you

are different, how you don’t measure up. I am in constant practice of

reminding myself that I can not be the judge of myself, i have no idea

what these casting directors want. I have no idea of what “facet of

beautiful” is what is needed in this project. And if i keep changing how

i look to what i THINK people think of as beautiful i am denying that

one moment when my special kind is what is needed. “

"I love all music, and I believe that being open to many musical languages helps one to grow. All the great jazz artists we're inspired by a wide range of music. It's all about being in context to whatever style you are dealing with, and making it your own by bringing your unique personality to the creative process!" -John di Martino
