ABOUT THE MUSICAL ARTISTS:
Pianist/Composer Grant Levin is one of most talented and in-demand young players on the Bay Area jazz scene today. A vibrant improviser, he leaves no style of jazz untouched in his versatile, expressive playing. He has worked with many great musicians including Noel Jewkes, Dayna Stephens, Pete Yellin, John Santos, Howard Wiley, and with Little Anthony and the Imperials on keyboards. He has performed at music venues: The Joe Henderson Lab (SFJAZZ Center), Yoshi's (Oakland&SF), Bird and Beckett Books and Records (SF), at the Fillmore Jazz Festival, The Sound Room and 57th Street Gallery (Oakland), Cafe Stritch for the San Jose Jazz Festival, and the Mildred Owen Concert Hall (Pacifica). http://www.reverbnation.com/grantlevin
Vocalist Shannon Wolfe is an emerging jazz cabaret singer who appears most often at San Francisco's newest downtown cabaret room, Society Cabaret, housed in the Hotel Rex where reviewer Richard Connema called her most recent performance there "genuine and sensual." Shannon is one-half of the smoldering and comedic duo, Sophisticated Ladies, who sing harmonies from the Art Deco Era and Hollywood’s silver screen, the tunes of Tin Pan Alley as well as rarely heard jazz gems. No stranger to film, Shannon appears as Helen Reddy in Vincent Gargiulo's award-winning Muppetless Movie. A graduate of the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, she earned her Master of Music degree in opera and chamber music performance. https://www.shannonmariewolfe.com
Bassist Dean Reilly is something of a fixture on the San Francisco scene, a tasty and unobtrusive player who is likely to be found backing up some of the city's best jazz vocalists including cabaret legend, Weslia Whitfield. Beginning in the late '50s, Reilly was bassist with several groups that characterized a certain aspect of the San Francisco mainstream jazz sound, including the combos of Vince Guaraldi, Cal Tjader, and the underrated guitarist Eddie Duran. He has played off and on as a member of the California Symphony as well as with jazz piano genius Earl Hines, the jazz vocal duo of Jackie and Roy, French crooner Maurice Chevalier, supreme vocalists Carmen McRae and Anita O'Day, jazz trumpeter Art Farmer, and saxophonist Stan Getz, and even a fill-in date with pianist and composer Thelonious Monk. http://www.allmusic.com/artist/dean-reilly-mn0001248558/songs
