Peter Sprague, guitar

Peter Sprague was born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1955 into a musical family. They moved to Del Mar in 1963. He started playing guitar when he was 12 and attended a year of study at Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan. In 1976 he moved to Boston, where he studied with Pat Metheny and classical guitarist Albin Zak. Returning to California in 1978, he formed a group called The Dance of the Universe Orchestra, featuring vocalist Kevyn Lettau. 

Peter has recorded over 30 of his own albums and has been part of over 300 others. In addition to performing and recording, he recorded 4 albums with Charles McPherson and later established a long-standing performing and recording relationship with Chick Corea. He organized Corea’s music in book form for publishing and published a book of his own transcriptions of Corea’s piano solos.

In 1985 he accepted teaching positions at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood and at CalArts in Los Angeles and has published several books of his pedagogy and compositions. Peter has a recording studio where he records, produces, and composes.

Danny Green, piano

Over the past decade, jazz pianist and Origin Records recording artist Danny Green has earned recognition as a bandleader and as a composer with a gift for spinning supple, absorbing narratives. Green’s growing portfolio of vibrant sounds—an enchanting mix of jazz, classical, and Brazilian rhythms—has captured the attention of critics around the world, including DownBeat Magazine, Jazziz, San Diego Union Tribune, the Boston Globe, and Public Radio International. It’s no small wonder that Green has earned two San Diego Music awards for Best Jazz Album and an additional award for Best Jazz Artist. Green takes listeners on a journey that is equal parts introspective and exuberant, and always compelling.

According to JazzReview.com, “Danny Green is what evolution in jazz is all about, expressing the traits of those that came before him, with a style and panache that is all his own…an individual who expresses what is inside of him.”

Mack Leighton, bass

Bassist Mackenzie Leighton is a bass player specializing in jazz and theater. He has worked with jazz legends Donald Brown and Geoffrey Keezer, as well as San Diego jazz heroes Peter Sprague and Gilbert Castellanos. Mack has also worked at many local theaters, including The Old Globe. In his career, he has performed in a wide range of styles and settings ranging from a one-off concert with tango master Raul Jaurena to a 6-week cruise ship residency with Grammy-winning bluesman Sugar Blue.
