Champian Fulton: Born in Norman Oklahoma in 1985, Champian is recognized as the “most gifted pure Jazz singer of her generation” (Mark Stryker, the Detroit Free Press). A Jazz pianist and vocalist for more than 20 years, she has released 19 albums as a leader and has performed in more than 25 countries, both in concert and on TV. She has been recognized with numerous awards, including Album of the Year in the NYC Jazz Record (2018, 2020, 2023) and Pianist and Vocalist of the Year (2019) by Hot House Magazine. She regularly appears in both the Jazz Journalist Awards and Downbeats Rising Star Critics Poll.  “Every song is a work of art in Champian’s hands and voice” according to the Absolute Sound. Her “galvanizing presence” (the New Yorker) and her alluring musical presentation have made her “a charming young steward of the mainstream Jazz tradition.” (The New York Times)

Emily Day: Jazz vocalist, arranger and songwriter Emily Day has been performing jazz since the age of 16. As “one of the major singers in her field” (Scott Yanow, Syncopated Times), Emily’s voice carries the history of American music. On stage, she combines her deep knowledge of jazz with her whiskey-tinged timber and vocal acrobatics — simultaneously wild and precise. She currently leads the San Francisco-based swing band Cosmo Alleycats, a group that celebrates the Great American Songbook and the bygone style of songwriting endemic to it.  Before relocating to San Francisco in 2012, Emily taught for several years at New England colleges and Universities. She holds a BFA in Jazz Voice from The New School in New York and an MA in Popular Music Studies from the University of Liverpool in England.
