Jamie Masefield followed in his grandfather's footsteps, (who played bass for Tommy Dorsey) as a fellow groovemaster, but Jamie used the tenor banjo instead. He plied these skills and chord-voicings to found and lead the Jazz Mandolin Project which toured the US, while recording six albums, including one released by Blue Note Records. He played with such luminaries as Frank Vignola and Peter Apfelbaum in his group.
Spanning the length and breadth of Vermont, Doug Perkins' musical efforts have ranged from backing the Green Mountain Cloggers to playing Hillbilly jazz at Mead Chapel with Vassar Clements to playing a half-dozen of JS Bach's sonatas for solo violin at the statehouse in Montpelier (on guitar of course.)
On stage, Jamie and Doug's thirty plus years of collaboration produce edge of your seat interplay, rich tonalities and a focused groove for a great night of music!
