Dave Shaw: piano and vocals. 
Raised in a family of professional musicians David went on to receive an Honours Degree in music in London England. Performing extensively with his quartet on the London jazz scene in clubs such as Ronnie Scott's and the 100 club, he was awarded Young Jazz Musician of the Year by the Greater London Arts Council in conjunction with Capitol Radio.
Coming to North America in the mid 1990's David continued in music, producing and writing. Achieving both Gold and Platinum in this field he wrote the no.1 hit “Love Makes No Promises”. The trio marks a return to his first love, jazz performances.
Daniel Fortin:bass
Is a rare breed. He is accomplished on the rock stage with acts such as Tom Cochrane, Gowan and the Spoons, yet able to sensitize himself to the subtle demands of Jazz, having performed with players such as Chet Baker, Bernie Senesnsky and Brian Dickson
His jazz style displays maturity and virtuosity, a perfect compliment to drive the harmonics and melodic interplay of the trio. The dynamic always comes first, handled with an
artistry developed through years of touring through Canada and USA and Europe. He is defintly in the World class category.
PETER TELFORD: acoustic bass
Peter Telford is one of the preeminent acoustic bass players on the
Scene today. His career has placed him on stage with artists as Diana Krall, Oliver Jones and Terry Clarke to name but a few. His style is smooth and melodic…he swings hard and solo’s beautifully.
This trio provides a perfect arena for his talents.
