Drummer and percussionist Bob Stewart has played venues and events of all types imaginable while backing Lou Rawls, David "Fathead" Newman, James Clay, and many others. The core group also includes bass player Eric Zukoski. Eric Zukoski has backed artists ranging from The Drifters and Three Dog Night, to 1970's soul artist Al Wilson ("Show & Tell") and classical crossover star Daniel Rodgriguez, and can be heard on numerous recordings on rotation on TV and radio. Rounding out the core group is pianist Frank Hailey. As noted in All About Jazz, "Frank Hailey is a cousin of seminal jazz pianist and composer Cedar Walton. But . . . Hailey need not invoke the reputation of his well-known relative to gain recognition, revealing he is a fine piano performer in his own right."
