Savannah Philyaw

Hello friend! I’m Savannah and I’m an 21 year old singer songwriter from San Diego, California. Music has always fascinated me with the way it can take over your emotions without asking your permission to do so. I am inspired by everything I do and everything I see. I write music based on experiences that have affected me and the people around me. These experiences are things that we all go through during the courses of our lives. Whether it be falling in love for the first time or losing a friend, I feel that a song can evoke emotions that spoken words cannot. Songwriting is my release, my passion, and my best friend. It has allowed me to be honest and open without fearing judgement. I hope that my music can inspire others like other music inspires me. I usually write about happy things and those experiences that can make us all smile no matter what time of day. To me, songs are like public diaries. Whoever hears your music knows exactly how you felt at the time the song was written. It’s actually a little frightening at times. I hope that my music can relate to you and the emotions that you experience during your life (especially if you’re a teenage girl like me). Songwriting is not what I do, it’s who I am.

Pianist and composer Danny Green has garnered a reputation in the jazz community as an emerging artist whose music sounds simultaneously seasoned and fresh. Showcasing a brilliant blend of jazz, Brazilian, Latin, and classical elements, Green’s music engages listeners with evocative melodies and infectious rhythms. According to JazzReview.com, “Danny Green is what evolution in jazz is all about, expressing the traits of those that came before him, with a style and panache that is all his own...an individual who expresses what is inside of him.” Green revealed his unique talents on his 2009 debut recording With You In Mind. The album received extensive airplay around the globe, rose to #18 on the Jazz Week Charts, and won “Best Jazz Album” at the 2009 San Diego Music Awards. In 2012, Green teamed up with Tapestry Records to release A Thousand Ways Home, featuring Justin Grinnell on bass, Julien Cantelm on drums, and Tripp Sprague on sax, as well as a talented cast of guest artists inducing guitarists Chico Pinheiro, Peter Sprague, and Dusty Brough, Brazilian vocalist Claudia Villela, and mandolinist Eva Scow. A Thousand Ways Home received numerous rave reviews nationwide, rose to #17 on the Jazz Week Charts, was voted into KSDS Jazz 88.3’s “Top Ten Jazz Releases of 2012,” and was nominated “Best Jazz Album” at the 2013 San Diego Music Awards. In 2014, the Danny Green Trio, comprised of Green, Grinnell, and Cantelm, released the highly-acclaimed album After The Calm on OA2 Records. Featuring ten of Green’s compositions, the album received much praise from the press and nationwide radio play. JazzWax described the album as “A highly impressive album that will knock you out,” and the San Diego Troubadour called it, “Unconditionally recommended to anyone who appreciates good jazz, instrumental music or soundtracks.” After The Calm won “Best Jazz Album” at the 2015 San Diego Music Awards and was nominated for “Album of the Year.”  The trio recorded their 2016 release, Altered Narratives, at New York City’s famed Sear Sound recording studio with award-winning producer Matt Pierson. Released on OA2 Records, the album consists of eleven original compositions by Green. The three tunes at the center of the album feature the trio with a string quartet led by violinist Antoine Silverman, a widely admired New York classical and studio player. All About Jazz critic Dan McClenaghan commented, “There’s nothing that adds a touch of elegance to a jazz set more than an adeptly-done string arrangement, and these are superb; violins, viola and cello in a sinuous, sometimes whispering embrace with a vibrant, top-notch piano trio, delving into Danny Green’s distinguished compositions.”  For more information visit www.dannygreen.net

Jason Brown aka JB Saxx

Destiny. That’s it baby. JB Saxx (Jason Brown) is destined to be one of the greats! He sings, he plays the sax, guitar, keyboard and get this…..he dances too. At 6’6” this is a sight to see as JB relishes performing in every way. The saxophone is obviously his best friend and he squeezes every last drop of emotion from every song he plays with his friend. This is his debut release and here he is playing to some of the hottest R&B tracks of our time. The word on the street? A star is born. . Singer/Songwriter/Saxophonist aka Mr. Sing & Play "JB has many influences such as Gospel, R&B, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Classical and Country. What sets him apart from other musicians is the fact that his music has a devine message and story. JB's Father passed away when JB was 13years old, feeling the sadness of losing his father he put his energy towards music. His mother bought him a saxophone and the rest is history. JB began playing the sax at church events, his audience was so overwhelmed with his playing that they told his mother to put JB in the studio. At 16 years old JB recorded his first project called "Jason's Beginning" Now fast forward to 5 albums later and an Billboard Honorable Mention for his Hit Song "Sing & Play". This self taught musician plays like someone is actually singing through the saxophone. JB retorts" I understand how it feels to be a kid with a dream of wanting to do something great, my dream is to inspire other kids, musicians to go after their dreams. When I perform, I am in my comfort zone and I always connect with my audience."
