It is available at CDBABY.COM and features Vinson Johnson (reeds), Robert Applebaum (piano), and Michael Cristol (bass)........By the time he left Chicago the Scott Poor Trio was performing various clubs and functions and was the official for Saturday nites at Chicago jazz club "Delaney & Murphy's'.

Bob Fraioli Trio
with Scott Poor on drums and Stan Piper on bass
A prominent drummer on the Chicago jazz scene, many great musicians often sought him out as a first choice player. This environment allowed Scott to develope his modern and engaging approach, and apply it to the variety of musical styles to which he was asked to perform. In 1999 Scott Poor released his first compact disc, BREATH (recorded live to two track at C.E. Mikter Studios). It is available at CDBABY.COM and features Vinson Johnson (reeds), Robert Applebaum (piano), and Michael Cristol (bass)........By the time he left Chicago the Scott Poor Trio was performing various clubs and functions and was the official for Saturday nites at Chicago jazz club "Delaney & Murphy's'.
Scott is the son of prominent show business performers. Scott's father Max Poor a world-renowned drummer and his mother Dorothy a professional acrobatic dancer.
With this gene pool, it is no wonder that Scott has forged his own creative musical personality

Dot Wilder singing with Barry Greene on Guitar
"In the music world, all singers think they are unique, but in the case of Dot Wilder it might actually be true. A jazz singer by categorization, Wilder has a style that defies definition. Her innovative sound and unique phrasings have twice earned Downbeat Magazine's Student Award for Outstanding Performance of a Jazz Vocalist, not to mention a devoted following among Jacksonville's jazz aficionados. Backed by some of the best jazz musicians in town, Wilder's performances showcase her diverse influences, expressive nature -- and an impressive set of pipes." Kerry Speckman, AOL Local Guide, October 2000
In addition, Dot and her jazz groups have performed from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba to Hilton Head, S. C. and in-between. To conclude, Norm Vickers of the Jazz Society of Pensacola states that "Dot, an outstanding vocalist, can sing a jazz standard and improvise a jazz chorus like the best instrumentalist."

Bob Fraioli with “Jazz Hall of Famer” Von Barlow on drums
Von is “One of the finest ensemble players around, always taking sensitive stylistic cues from his fellow performers, engaging in sympathetic and interesting dialog with any ensemble in which he plays. His stick work is never studied or monotonous, but filled with thoughtful listening and original thinking. Capable of the artistic understatement necessary in a quiet restaurant, Von is equally famous for his fiery jazz drumming as well as his floor filling dance grooves. Truly he is a seasoned performer and a master of his craft.”
