Brandon “B Jazz” Scott

As a music producer, Brandon Scott has been inspired by the new wave of Soul acts that blend Hip Hop rhythms with traditional Jazz to create flavorful music. That inspiration led to collaborations with many artists, including producer J Rawls on his internationally acclaimed series The Liquid Crystal Project in 2006. The second part of the series, set to be released in 2008, promises to provide even more Jazz/Hip Hop fusions for its legions of fans. Eric Roberson has sung over two Scott-produced gems, including If I Had A Chance on 2007's Left and Roberson's highest selling iTunes single to-date, Head To Toe, on his 2007 compilation album, The Collection. He shares production credits with J Rawls on singer Middle Child's highly anticipated sophomore album, The Rawls & Middle Project. Scott has also produced work for Nu Springs Records recording artist Isaac Simpson, and Toronto rapper and A&M Records recording artist K'Naan.

Scott has been infatuated with the keyboard since he was nine-years-old. That love for performing live has led him to play alongside his idols, upcoming stars and chart staples. Isaac Hayes, James Moody, Fantasia, Shareefa, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Roy Ayers, Howard Hewitt, Bobby Valentino, Dwele and John P. Kee are just a few of the artists he has shared a stage with in his professional career. He has also played for Eric Roberson, Jonell, Fatty Koo, K'Naan, Aaron Hall, Selena Johnson and Rance Allen. He has been a member of The Charles Cooper Quartet, a Hip Hop/Jazz fusion band, for more than a decade. As a touring musician, he has played around the world at venues in Berlin, the Netherlands, Budapest, Belize and Portugal. He has also played for Carnival Cruise, Howard University, Ohio State University's graduation ceremony, the Cleveland Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame, the Regional Emmys in Columbus, Ohio and the Cincinnati and Columbus Jazz Festivals.

Robert Riley

A drummer with a Hip Hop/Soul sensibility, Rob Riley's main goal is bringing that boom pap back into Soul music. Having played since the age of 10, Riley has been gigging since he was 19-years-old. The method to his madness behind a drum set is simple...a mix of musical control and individual wildness, that gets heads nodding in or out of the pocket. As a touring musician, Riley has played for and with a dynamic list of artists, including bassists Victor Wooten and Steve Bailey, Cam'Ron and The Diplomats, Rick Ross, Shareefa, Roy Ayers, K'Naan, Raheem DeVaughn, Dwele, Eric Roberson and Bone Thugs N Harmony. He is a 10-year member of The Charles Cooper Quartet, and has drummed on The Liquid Crystal Project 2 and The Rawls & Middle Project, both spearheaded by international producer/deejay J Rawls and slated for 2008 release. He has also played for the Cleveland Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame, the Regional Emmys in Columbus, Ohio and the Cincinnati and Columbus Jazz Festivals.

Riley has parlayed understanding of rhythm into production work, working with upcoming Sony Records group Fatty Koo, and was even featured on their high-rated BET reality series, Blowing Up: Fatty Koo. Their 2005 hit Bounce Bounce, in which Riley was the drummer, was the NBA Finals theme song and was featured on the Fat Albert Movie soundtrack.
