Neil has upheld the highest standards in musicianship and music education as well as swinging without remorse! Truly a long-time giant of Denver’s jazz scene, Neil and his muse, Karen Lee Bridge, will remind you with his classic arrangements and impeccable taste, of why we love this most American of music styles.

Wayne is a headliner guitarist playing high-octane octane straight-ahead jazz, traditional classics from the great American songbook, innovative bebop jazz and original compositions. Some of his recent performances have included the London, Tel Aviv, and Vail Jazz Festivals, a United Kingdom Tour, and Hawaii Tour.

Denver musicians consider themselves very fortunate to have regular access to his soulful, resonating tone, and his hard-swinging grooves.
