TED DANIEL, jazz trumpeter, cornetist and composer. Captivating, vibrant, revolutionary — these are just a few of the words used to describe Ted Daniel. A gifted and critically acclaimed trumpeter, Ted’s style has been described as “avant garde” however he to embraces the traditional and the new, with performances ranging from solo to big band. His music transcends conventional ideas about jazz, resulting in a completely unique and pleasurable listening experience. He is a melodic player who experiments with all forms of jazz music, producing extraordinary results every time. For now, he’s the genre’s best-kept secret.
Aisling Mulhern-Dono hails from Ireland and made her song debut on the professional stage at age 10. She grew up in a classical and musical theater household, but her tendency to stray and discover the unknown within, has brought her to a sound that blends classical, folk, soul, and blues. She is a proud resident of Ossining and performs with her talented friends and neighbors, Alan and Ellen Marzelli. Aisling sings because – Song is the place where we meet, where our hearts keep the beat and our words find the space, for our feelings to live and our passions to taste.
