Pepe Jacobo is an ebullient master of many musical genres, as reflected by the diversity of the groups he plays with including the Jorge Santana Band, the Latin Funk band Mas Cabeza, the Latin jazz group Caliente 2000 and the world music group Volcan. He holds a Diploma in Music from the University of Costa Rica, has studied with Stewart Mars, and has taken private classes with Antoni Saroni, Pete Magadini and many others. Pepe creates and performs original music on guitar and percussion; his teaching emphasizes the mathematics of time signatures, music therapy, scales, chords, open tones and fun.

Bob Crawford was with Michael Franti’s Spearhead for several years, touring internationally and playing with any number of world renowned musicians; his credits, particularly in the Latin music sphere are too numerous to detail here, but we urge you to visit his site for more information, by clicking here.

Jason Muscat plays in a wide array of bands in the Bay Area in genres ranging from straight ahead jazz to latin, funk and rock, and has performed and recorded with members of Primus, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Journey, T.J. Kirk, Queen and The Cars, while working in jazz settings with most of the top players on the local scene.

As for Carlos Caro! A conguero of the first order, a living & breathing legend among Bay Area Latin music afficinados and their contemporaries in Cuba and the world. An enlightening bio is found here.
