Gypsy jazz in the style of Django Reinhardt/Hot Club of France,
central Florida’s Cook Trio is composed of brothers Ian and Jason Cook on
guitar, and Kyle Jones on upright bass. With myriad influences from Coltrane to
Monk, their music brings an American perspective to France ’s classic Jazz Manouche.
“Outstanding guitar
work will blow you away.” – Orlando Weekly
“Haunting and
beautiful.”— jazzonedge.com
Guitar master Thomas is best known as a founding member of the gutsy
blues-rock foursome Smokehouse - the
genre of Florida swamp blues, a killer
variation of Louisiana

Slim, Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed, and Lazy Lester.
“… an eclectic gumbo
of Delta hooks, Louisiana
merriment, and top-notch musicianship.” –
Living Blues
The comparison is inevitable. On a passionate mission to nurture the
musical legacy left by Puente Sr., Latin jazz Mambo king Tito Puente Jr.

soul. It’s in his looks, his joy, and his music.
“My father is a
great inspiration for why I perform. It’s a wonderful feeling and people
remember this. He is the only and true influence for why I do what I do.”– Tito Puente, Jr.

Linda Witsell continues her traditions of communing and jamming on
straight-ahead jazz and contemporary styles. Linda is something of an
inconspicuous insurgent in the regional jazz kingdom. Her adeptness on flute is
sweet and particularly outspoken. She’s got big, healthy, highly individual
ideas on flute, and about how to push jazz beyond its own boundaries.
