ARTIST HIGHLIGHT: Jeff Ryan is one the most essential young voices in contemporary jazz today. From his uniquely relatable emotive tone to his explosive performance and stage presence, it's no question why he is a staple across the country in the jazz festival scene. Jeff has held consistent radio successes with 5 Billboard , the 2020 Billboard Artist of the Year and Song of the Year in 2021 with his track “Sentimental Soul.” In 2018, his first year on the scene, he was awarded the JazzTrax Breakout Artist of 2018 and the Smooth Jazz Network Debut Artist of 2018.

Ryan was influenced by smooth/urban icons like Richard Elliot, Gerald Albright, Dave Koz and Grover Washington to jazz legends Michael Brecker, Cannonball Adderley, Charlie Parker and Dexter Gordon. Some of his other influences include Jeff Lorber, Norman Brown, Rick Braun, Wes Montgomery, Lee Ritenour, Earl Klugh and Jonathan Butler. Taking the baton from his mentors, he has shown with his consistent quality and feel, he is not just a saxophonist, but an essential artist worthy of your attention.

ARTIST HIGHLIGHT: Nicholas Cole, hailing from Goldsboro, North Carolina, made his mark on the jazz scene in the 2010s with a unique fusion of Gospel, R&B, and Jazz. He scored his first Billboard #1 single with "Snap" from his debut album, Endless Possibilities, released in 2012, and has since achieved an impressive total of 13 #1 singles as both an artist and producer. Cole has collaborated with notable musicians such as Brian Culbertson, Dave Koz, Nick Colionne, and Steve Cole. He attributes his musical journey and accomplishments to his deep roots in the church, where he laid the groundwork for his artistry.

Billboard chart-topping smooth jazz bassist, recording artist, songwriter, producer, and live performer with a signature sound built on groove, soul, polish, and purpose. From Kansas City roots to an international presence, Julian Vaughn continues to shape a modern lane in smooth jazz through consistency, musicianship, and a clear artistic voice centered around the bass.
