Two Great Guitarists
Barry Greene and James Hogan
“I've been enjoying the guitar as an instrument and its amazing artists all of my life. To me Barry Greene is just about one of the best; not only as a player, but also as a writer and a teacher. I agree with others who regard him as a world class musician.” -Pat Martino
James Hogan is a guitarist from Florida who has worked with the bands Left For Dead, and with Matt Mercado's Pivotman. He also worked briefly with death metal pioneer Chuck Schuldiner of Death (band) in the mid-90's.
Hogan is also revered studio guitarist who is fluent in many styles of music. His touring and recording credits are extensive, and diverse. Along with metal legend Schuldiner and Mercado, Hogan has also worked with renowned jazz pianist Dave Brubeck and r&b legend Chaka Khan. Hogan also toured in 2007 with the official band of NASCAR. He is also a music pedagogist who teaches for the National Guitar Workshop, and at a Florida college. James Hogan has a self produced instrumental jazz/rock fusion album entitled True Diversity. It was the #1 selling jazz disc of 2006 distributed by Guitar 9 Records.

Bob Fraioli with Scott Mariash on drums
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
