Jazz Duo Nancy and Spencer Reed
 Nancy Reed and Spencer Reed's unique brand of vocal and instrumental styling has been enjoyed by audiences in Italy, Japan and Mexico as well as coast to coast at home in the U.S.
Their forte is their vocal blend, with tight yet natural phrasing and unusual harmony. Both grew up in New York City and started their musical collaboration as teenagers in the Bronx. They were influenced by the classic performances of Lambert, Hendricks and Ross, Sarah Vaughan and Jackie and Roy.
Their audience is always treated to a warm, relaxed yet swinging and intense set. They offer an unusual selection of rarely heard tunes punctuated by unique treatments of jazz standards.

The Jack Stafford Foundation, featuring Jack Stafford.
Some reviews of his latest CD:
Red Alert, USA
“Acoustic music
fans have hit a jackpot upon purchasing Long Live Love. This Amsterdam native band sounds like a European Bob Dylan.”
DIGG, Belgium
“Rootsy and folky… a 5 star singer songwriter album!’’
Der Schallplattenmann, Germany
“The music is magic…magnificent acoustic, alternative pop.’’
Music2Web, Germany
“Long Live Love is a wonderful album. Folk lovers, hippies at heart and anyone wishing to remember the 60’s will especially love it.’’
PLATO, the Netherlands
"What I think of the CD? I get up on the wrong side of the bed, cut my cheek shaving, spill hot coffee on my freshly ironed shirt, discover heavily frosted car windows: to end up in a 17 km traffic jam. I put on Long Live Love by The Jack Stafford Foundation and suddenly I love all the other drivers around me. Love and Peace to all!’’

Gypsy Dave and the Stumpjumpers
Drawn together in rural Pennsylvania, and performing nationally for two years, 'Gypsy Dave and The Stumpjumpers' are a rising force in the world of original music.
Backed by a unique combination of strings and voices, Gypsy Dave is slowly emerging as one of the preeminent songwriters of his generation. At only 24 years old some would say he has already become an old soul, a voice for the changing days. And in a world that moves faster everyday, it's good to know that someone is carrying our stories, and delivering them back to us with passion and energy.
Joining Dave are two eclectic string players. Lisa Joseph, 22, brings 12 years of symphony experience to the contemporary folk sound, melding classical and alternative styles to provide a powerful and ethereal layer. Ryan Nageotte, 25, is the driving force that holds their songs together. A relative new comer to the upright bass, his style has developed into a truly unique blend of contemporary folk and the harder edged music he was reared on.
Their music has been described as a new sound born of an older time. But whether it makes us laugh, cry, or just stop and think, you can be sure of one thing: the music of 'Gypsy Dave and The Stumpjumpers' is honest. It is sound that speaks to each of us; it is the sound that truly is a part of us all. And wherever you might find them next, you can be sure they'll be singing, playing, and wearing their hearts on their sleeves.
