A musical prodigy as a child, Dave Eggar began playing the cello and piano at age three. By the age of seven Eggar had performed on Broadway and with the Metropolitan Opera. He had his debut at Carnegie Hall at the age of fifteen. Eggar is a graduate of Harvard University and the Julliard School's Doctoral Program. His mission to "not just cross over, but to cross through" multiple genres of music is apparent in all of his releases. Whether it's classical, reggae, bluegrass, jazz, pop, or world music, Eggar finds a common voice within his musical vocabulary and introduces it with his own unique imaginative vision.

Pianist and composer Fred Hersch has earned his place among the foremost jazz artists and creative musicians in the world today. He is widely recognized for his ability to steadfastly create a unique body of original works while reinventing the standard jazz repertoire--investing time-tested classics with keen insight, fresh ideas, and extraordinary technique.

Hersch's many accomplishments include two Grammy nominations for Best Jazz Instrumental Performance and one for Best Instrumental Composition, and a 2003 Guggenheim Memorial Fellowship for composition.

"Hersch's work has developed an intensity of intelligence and emotional directness unparalleled among his peers." - Steve Futterman, The New Yorker
