Arthur Statman: Arthur Statman has performed with both world
renowned musicians including Charlie Rouse, Clark Terry, Bobby
Shew, as well as local heroes such as Brian Bromberg, Tony
Malaby, Brice Winston, and Arthur Vint. The latter two joined him
in a recent series of concerts presenting his original compositions
arranged for sextet, along with longtime associate Jack Wood, with
whom he led the Hackensack group in the 1980’s. Arthur can
currently be heard playing with Round Midnight with John
Ronstadt.

Orchestra, The Smothers Brothers, George Cables, Dizzy Gillespie,
Roger Williams, Sam Taylor and a host of other local artists. Doug

Revue and Salsa Artists Latino Solido. Before returning to Tucson
in 1998 he taught jazz band and percussion at Nikki Rowe H.S. in

Jack Wood: In his late twenties, Jack “discovered” the acoustic bass
and studied with a classical bassist. After free lancing on the East
Coast, he joined the cruise-ship circuit. Later he finished his
English degree at Rutgers Univ., where he played in the Rutgers
Jazz Ensemble with Terence Blanchard and Ralph Peterson. There
he played often with Kenny Barron who mentored small ensembles
as well as play with a number of jazz greats such as Dave Liebman,
George Coleman and Sonny Stitt. Next, Jack earned a Computer
