Whether accompanying her self at the piano, fronting a trio, big band or symphony, Dee Daniels’ musical career is as varied as her four-octave vocal range is thrilling. She is a unique talent who transcends musical borders when she brings her jazz styling, infused with gospel and blues flavoring, to the stage. Her vocal style was born in her stepfather’s church choir in Oakland, California, refined through the R&B era, polished during a five-year stay in The Netherlands and Belgium from 1982 to 1987, and brought to full fruition upon her return to North America. During those years to the present, she has performed and/or recorded with many ‘Legends of Jazz’ including Benny Green, Houston Person, John Clayton, Russell Malone, Wycliffe Gordon, Cyrus Chestnut, Clark Terry, Ken Peplowski, Kenny Barron, Bill Mays, Jeff Clayton, Benny Golson, Grady Tate, Toots Thielemans, Jeff Hamilton, Monty Alexander, Steve Wilson, Marvin Stamm, Lewis Nash, Kenny Washington, Norman Simmons, Ben Riley, Dennis MacKrel, Steve Davis, Martin Wind, Bucky Pizzarelli, Helen Sung, Christian McBride, David Young - to mention a few. Her international career includes performances in twelve African countries, Australia, South America, the United Kingdom, Hong Kong, Japan, throughout North America, and many countries in Europe. A respected vocal clinician, adjudicator, and mentor, Dee presents clinics, workshops, and master classes around the world. In 2013, she created the Dee Daniels Vocal Jazz Workshop, a week long workshop in Sitka, AK. In 2001, she established the Dee Daniels Jazz Vocal Scholarship at the Capilano University in North Vancouver, BC. She served on the advisory board of the Lionel Hampton International Jazz Festival from 2002 - 2008, and has received several awards for her contribution in the field of music performance, music education, and community service. Patrick Langham serves at the Conservatory of Music as Professor of Music, Director of Jazz Studies, and Interim Executive Director of the Brubeck Institute. As a saxophonist, Langham has performed with distinguished jazz artists in Barcelona, Spain, and at numerous jazz festivals throughout the United States. As a program director, he has developed and taught courses in jazz history, theory, improvisation, and performance. Langham received the 2017 Jazz Educator of the Year award from the California Music Education Association. Randy Sandoli serves as Assistant Director of the Brubeck Institute and Lecturer in Jazz Studies at the University of the Pacific. As a pianist and composer, Randy performs regularly as a sideman and as a leader and has released an album of original compositions entitled Gettin’ Goin’. As an educator, he has focused on creating and implementing community based programs to help foster the love of music and jazz in Stockton’s youth, such as the Zion Academy Jazz Ensemble and the Tuesday Night Jazz Jam Sessions at Take 5 Jazz At The Brew.
