Charles Blenzig - Piano
"Charles Blenzig is a pianist, composer, arranger, producer and educator who slips effortlessly among musical styles while retaining his own distinct sound. Born in the Bronx, he was fortunate to hear most of his heroes on any given night in small, dingy Manhattan jazz clubs and learned his craft the traditional way, by ear. This direct lineage is crucial to his sound as a pianist and composer. Charles was part of the NYC jazz scene for over 35 years and has performed at such legendary clubs as The Blue Note, Birdland, The 55 Bar, Sweet Basil, Fat Tuesdays, Smalls and Mezzrow.
His first major gig was with the Gil Evans Orchestra, which performed every Monday night at Sweet Basil Jazz Club in N.Y.C. for over eight years. Performing with the orchestra gave him the opportunity to play some of the most influential arrangements in the history of jazz and to work with some of the finest musicians in the world including Lou Soloff, Hiram Bullock, Mark Egan, Alex Foster, Delmar Brown, Kenwood Denard, Gil Goldstein, Tim Hagens, John Clarke, Dave Taylor and George Adams.
Charles has also collaborated with Michael Brecker, Gato Barbieri, Bill Evans (sax with Miles Davis), Mike Stern, Will Lee, Marcus Miller, Larry Coryell, Joe Beck, Joe Locke, Eddie Gomez, Jerry Bergonzi, Grady Tate, Buster Williams, Roy Ayers, John Patitucci, Billy Hart, Harvey Mason, Alex Foster, Lee Ritenour, Tom Kennedy, Denis Chambers, Dave Weckl, Patti Austin, Randy Brecker, John Faddis and many others."

Paloma's sound is influenced by the mysticism and color of the American Southwest where her cultural background is from. Her music is painted with Indigenous, Spanish, and Anglo roots and views music as an act of community building. Music unites people. Music heals each other."
