Kaylan Crawford (jazz guitar) from New York, USA, switched from worship music to Jazz, finding he has a natural feel and ability for the complicated chord structures and form of Jazz, with the influence of Joe Pass and George Benson coming through in his playing Style.
Colin Beere (drums) New Zealand, has been drumming for many years on the Jazz circuit, both here and in Australia. He has backed many well known NZ and Australian musicians. Colin has a very tasteful and laid back low volume drumming style that compliments and fits Yolanda and Zimieel's music.

Appearing as our supporting artist this month is Paul McIsaac. A regular at the Tamahere Market, Paul surprised his parents by playing “Drummer boy” on the piano with both hands at age 5. Since then he has gone on to guest in bands. He formed a duo, The Godfathers, performing at weddings, corporate events and in Japan. Paul was also the resident pianist at “Santa Lucia” restaurant Mission bay,
|
Paul's distinctive style is self taught and what he calls “variety with a jazz feel” drawing on diverse influences such as Frank Sinatra, Elton John, The Carpenters, Alicia Keys, Shakatak, Rod Stewart, Van Morrison.
