Vinny Golia, the internationally noted multi-instrumentalist, composer, and bandleader, has become an important contributor to the vanguard of creative music. As a composer, he fuses the rich heritage of jazz, contemporary classical, and world music into his own unique compositions. Bertram Turetzky has been a key figure in the renaissance of the contrabass. Since 1955, more than 300 new works have been written for, performed by, and recorded by Turetzky. This makes him the most frequently recorded contrabass soloist in America.
