Strauss Whiteside (piano), and Ben MacRae (clarinet, sax, tuba, vocals) have been playing jazz together since they first met when they were both eighteen years-old, studying music at Kwantlen Polytechnic University.  Together, Strauss and Ben have a love of traditional jazz, and seek to offer excellent roots music that provokes the mind, captures the heart, moves the body, and that fills the soul.
