Mobile since her birth in Singapore, composer, saxophonist, and educator Caroline Davis now lives in Brooklyn, New York. After making her mark on the Chicago jazz community during her 8-year stint, she moved to New York in 2013, and has proven to be an active leader and sidewoman in the national jazz scene.

She has shared musical moments with a diverse group of musicians, from jazz to mainstream, including Matt Wilson, Ellis Marsalis, Matt Mitchell, Randy Brecker, Bobby Broom, Greg Saunier, Ron Miles, Dennis Carroll, Erin McKeown, Allison Miller, Jenny Owen Youngs, and Billy Kaye. Aside from her own quintet, she collaborates regularly with R&B indie band, Maitri, and has been a regular member of many outfits including Whirlpool, Fatbook, Deep Fayed, Matt Mitchell’s Sprees, Billy Kaye Quintet, Paul Bedal Quintet, Orso, Chicago Jazz Orchestra, Caili O’Doherty Group, Dion Kerr Group, Elliot Ross, and Materials and Their Destiny.

Today, Caroline’s music covers a wide range of styles, owed to this shifting environment. As a leader, she has released eight albums: Live Work & Play (2012), Doors: Chicago Storylines (2015), Heart Tonic (2018), Alula (2019), Anthems (2019), Portals, Vol. 1: Mourning (2021), Alula: Captivity (2023), and Portals, Vol.2: Returning (2024). Her active projects include jazz-leaning Portals, experimental R&B My Tree, and protest band Alula. She has won Downbeat’s Critic’s Poll Rising Star Alto-Saxophonist (2018) and has been included in numerous Reader and Critics Polls. Her work has garnered much praise from NPR, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Wire, DownBeat, and many international publications.

Gijs Idema started playing the guitar at the age of eleven. He initially chose the music of Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin, and then, via classical music, came to jazz. After hearing jazz guitarists like Wes Montgomery, Joe Pass, and Jim Hall, he was convinced he wanted to become a jazz guitarist himself. After completing his bachelor's degree at the Conservatory of Amsterdam (with Jesse van Ruller and Reinier Baas), he moved to New York to pursue a master's degree at the Manhattan School of Music, studying with Jim McNeely, among others.

Gijs Idema won the Princess Christina Jazz Competition (2014), the Leiden Jazz Award (2016), the Expression of Art Award (2017), and the Keep an Eye on the Records Award (2019). The guitarist/composer has released a series of successful CDs, including the trio albums Squares (2018) and There (2020), the solo albums Marking Time (2020) and Motus (2020), and Cloud Studies (2023) with the Idema/Serierse Quartet.

Earlier this year, the Prince Claus Conservatoire, part of the Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen, appointed Gijs Idema as a principal subject lecturer.
