Jazz Night At The Loading Dock

Swingin’ Nights with Judy Carmichael and Friends

Jon-Erik Kellso is one of the greatest trumpeters playing in the swing tradition on the scene today.  He has been a regular in Vince Giordano's Nighthawks, performed and recorded with Dick Hyman, Catherine Russell, Cecile McLorin Salvant, Elvis Costello, Linda Ronstadt, Leon Redbone and many others.

Jon-Erik can be heard on several television and movie soundtracks, including “Ghost World,” "The Aviator," "Mildred Pierce," and "Bessie" with Vince Giordano's Nighthawks. He can also be heard and seen in "Revolutionary Road" and the HBO series, "Boardwalk Empire," for which the Nighthawks won a Grammy.

Jon is on well over a hundred recordings, including several as a leader.

Jazz pianist, Ehud Asherie integrates the venerable New York piano tradition into his inventive style.  From Small’s Jazz Club to the Rainbow Room, from Lincoln Center to The Village Vanguard, Asherie has worked with a broad range of musicians including:  Eric Alexander, Roy Ayers, Peter Bernstein, Jesse Davis, Bobby Durham, Vince Giordano, Wycliffe Gordon, Scott Hamilton, Catherine Russell, Ken Peplowski and Clark Terry.
