20:00 CINDY BRADELY - Trumpet

A native of Buffalo, New York, Cindy Bradley started playing the piano when she was six. At fourth grade she picked the trumpet by accident, which turned out to be a life and career defining fluke. By 12, she was performing professionally with a Buffalo area jazz band that consisted of promising musicians, ages 12-17, which emulated the big bands of the 1940s. She played with many jazz groups over the years, but it was with this group that she fell in love with performance, jazz, and especially the trumpet.

DAN CIPRIANO - Saxophone

As one of the busiest sax players in NYC he has performed and recorded with an impressive array of artists and national acts including: Sting, Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, The Allman Brothers, Elvis Costello, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Wilson Pickett, Michael Bolton, Bonnie Raitt, George Thorogood, David Sanborn, Fourplay, Stanley Jordan, John Tropea and dozens of others artists.
