Bunny Brunel
When CHICK COREA watched BERNARD BUNNY BRUNEL play one night at an upscale London jazz club in 1978, Bunny was unaware of the ultimate significance Corea would play in his future success as a bassist. Few weeks after that visit to London Chick called Bunny on the telephone and asked him to pack up and join him on a world wide tour. Bunny quickly accepted and went on to record the classics "Tap step" and "Secret agent" with the legendary jazz fusionist.
The roster of artists Bunny went on to record and perform with is practically a who's who of music industry giants. Notables include HERBIE HANCOCK, WAYNE SHORTER, TONY WILLIAMS, AL JARREAU, NATHALIE COLE, LARRY CORYELL, AL DIMEOLA, MIKE STERN, JOE FARRELL, and a list too numerous to mention here.
Besides his work as a performer, he is equally at home in the roles of composer, arranger, producer and designer. As a soundtrack composer Bunny collaborated with Clint Eastwood in creating the main theme (Claudia's theme) for the award winning film, "The Unforgiven". He also worked on several TV shows, including the popular series "Highlander".
As a designer, Bunny created a line of electric bass guitars for CARVIN Co. and an electric upright bass. Bunny has released nine albums; "MOMENTUM," "IVANHOE," "TOUCH," "DEDICATION,". "FOR YOU TO PLAY," "L.A. ZOO." "CAB" and the Grammy nominated "CAB 2" with Tony MacAlpine, Brian Auger and Dennis Chambers, and the latest release CAB4 with guest Pianist Patrice Rushen. These projects highlight his beautiful compositions and melodic solos and show off breathtaking bass lines.
Taking an active interest in helping bass players, Brunel regularly gives seminars on his unique approach to the instrument. He has written several books as well as three instruction videos.

Tony MacAlpine
Progressive metal guitar virtuoso Tony MacAlpine began his musical education as a classically-trained pianist and violinist; his subsequent rock recordings retained a pronounced classical influence, incorporating elements of jazz and fusion as well.
He debuted in 1986 with the instrumental Edge of Insanity, recorded with an all-star line-up including bassist Billy Sheehan and ex-Journey drummer Steve Smith; for the follow-up, Project: Driver, MacAlpine formed the band M.A.R.S. with drummer Tommy Aldridge, vocalist Bob Rock and bassist Rudi Sarzo. The group quickly dissolved and MacAlpine returned to his solo career, additionally forming his own label, Squawk; after 1987's Maximum Security, he founded another group, dubbed simply MacAlpine, with singer Alan Schorn, keyboardist Mark Robertson, bassist Mike Jacques and drummer Billy Carmassi.
The band's lone record, Eyes of the World, appeared in 1990, and MacAlpine returned to instrumental projects for the remainder of the decade, issuing a series of albums including 1992's Freedom to Fly, 1995's Evolution, 1997's Live Insanity and 2000's Cab. Cab 2 followed in 2001.
Cab 2 got a Grammy nomination in 2002 for best contemporary Jazz album.
Tony still continues to pump out some rip-roaring guitar tracks for the upcoming Planet X album : MoonBabies

Brian Auger
Brian Auger is one of the best B-3 artists I have ever heard in my life. His technique is awesome and the amount of energy he generates is unparalleled and relentless. He is a tremendous talent with a wonderfully warm and compassionate personality, a combination that is hard to beat. He deserves all the accolades." - Herbie Hancock, May 1995. "My favorite rock artists are Van Morrison, Bonnie Raitt, Brian Auger and Loundon Wainwright" -Mose Allison "His power and love for the music was the foundation for one of the most memorable tours I have ever done. With this grea solid foundation it made it possible for us to blow free! Brian is a true inspiration to work with despite the fact he is an Englishman. Brian is a bad Mutha...!!!" - Les McCann, May 1995 "Brian Auger is a superb technician on his instrument, but he also plays with feeling that is a rarity. I am looking forward in recording with him in the near future." - Eddie Harris, May 1995. Brian is one of the originators of the high energy Hammond organ style along with Larry Young in the tradition of Jimmy Smith. I remember in the late sixties when Brian and I were in London together our paths crossed at different times both socially and also playing with the likes of Jimi Hendrix and the guys from that great band of Cream. I consider Brian a great friend and musician" - Tony Williams, June 1995 "Mr. Brian Auger is a personal friend and great artist. I have had the opportunity to work with Brian just as a trio, he made his keyboard sound like a big band! He is a composer, arranger, complete keyboard player, a great accompanist. I enjoy playing with Brian, he can really make it happen." Louis Bellson, June 1995, "Those who remain oblivious to the obvious delights of Brian Auger's Oblivion Express do so at their own risk!" - Beastie Boys, June 1995
