For over two decades, Greg Ruby called Seattle home before moving to NYC in 2019. While in the PNW, Ruby was a member of “that mighty engine of swing” Pearl Django, was a beloved band leader in the Seattle-area swing dance scene and released countless records – including “Syncopated Classic,” a project which unearthed, restored and recorded the nearly lost work of 1920’s Seattle jazz pioneer Frank D. Waldron and was awarded Earshot Jazz Magazine’s “Northwest Recording of the Year” in 2017.https://gregrubymusic.com/

Julian Smedley started his music career as a choirboy in an English cathedral. As a violinist he performed regularly on BBC television and radio both as a soloist and an orchestral player. He co-founded the Bowles Brothers Band that recorded on Decca Records. Since moving to the West Coast of the U.S., he has performed with such artists as Art Lande, Ralph Towner, Gary Peacock and Gil Evans, and he was a member of the Bay Area’s Hot Club of San Francisco. Since his 2011 return to the Pacific Northwest, Julian has been performing with The Debutones, Julian and Alison, a jazz duo with his wife and Bistro String Trio

James Schneider began his professional music career in Austin, Texas touring with a punk band, which of course, transformed into a decade of work as a bluegrass and Western swing banjo player. He is the founding upright bass member of the gypsy jazz group Hot Club Sandwich, and part of several top 20 CMJ Jazz Charts recordings, including collaborations with David Grisman and Dan Hicks. His banjo work with The Tune Stranglers was part of a syndicated radio show produced for Public Radio International. These days James performs with groups whose styles include jazz, Latin, funk, R&B, and psychedelic rock. He is also a Professor of Humanities at South Puget Sound Community College.
