Joe Becker:
Born on June 23rd, 1976 in Chicago Illinois, Joe had a pre-disposition for musicianship. His father, (Joe Becker Sr.) a musician who had several bands in the Chicago area since he was a teenager, gained some fame on Dr. Demento's radio show for the songs, "I saw Elvis" and, "Zip It" (A Morton Downy Jr. parody). Joe Sr. was also a Belushi family friend, so as a child Joe spent a fair amount of time at John and Jim's mother's house (Agnes). Needless to say, the gold records hanging on her walls had an impact.
Joe's uncle Ed Becker was in Spot and the Blotters who eventually released a 45 with, "Circulating" on the A side and "Soul Circle" [instrumental of the same song] on the B side. They called themselves "Spot and the Blotters" because the lead singer was black and the rest of them were white. They did alot of racial humor on stage, hense the intensity of their promo pictures.
[ NOTE : In the 60's, this was still kind of o.k. ].
Another uncle, Joe Kelly was lead guitarist in the Shadow's of the Knight who were best known for their 1966 chart topper, "G-L-O-R-I-A". Oh, and Uncle Ed was friends with Chicago's lead guitarist and founding member Terry Kath who'd sit in for him during Spot and the Blotter practices when there were scheduling conficts. It's family history like this that led to things like Ronnie Rice of The New Colony Six performing at Joe's wedding, dedicating their chart topper, "I will always think about you" to the new couple after the ceremony.

Paul Gilbert: guitar player:
Born in Carbondale, Illinois, into a Polish[citation needed] middle class family, Paul started playing guitar at the age of 5, but soon gave up, becoming frustrated with just learning simple nursery rhymes. Around age 11, he took up the guitar again, but with a skewed memory of the technique; he played only with upstrokes, used only the low 'E' string and only used his middle finger on the fretboard. Frustrated after trying to play the intro to 'Barracuda' by Heart, he took lessons and his teacher explained the error of his ways. His technique corrected, Gilbert continued practicing and by the age of 14 he developed a local band in Greensburg, PA named Missing Lynx. They played together for approximately two years and wrote their own material. After Missing Lynx he then went on to join another local band called Tau Zero, but left shortly after, and headed for California. He was spotlighted in Guitar Player Magazine alongside fellow up-and-comer Yngwie Malmsteen ...

Guitarist Sheryl Bailey is rated among the foremost bopbased guitarists to have emerged in the 1990’s. Her attack can be direct and hard swinging, but she also exudes subtlety, elegance of phrase and a pure, warm, liquid sound. Bill Milkowski has written about her: “ a modernist burner with an abundance of Pat Martino-style chops, Bailey prefers angular lines, odd harmonies and the occasional touch of dissonance as she sails up and down the fretboard with fluid abandon.” – JazzTimes Magazine, Februrary 2005
Her musical activities aren’t confined to groups working strictly in the orthodox, bop based jazz tradition, as she has toured and recorded with bassist, Richard Bona and is a member of David Krakauer’s Klezmer Madness. Other artists are tenor saxophonist, Gary Thomas, Urban Folk and Jazz artist, KJ Denhert, and pop diva, Irene Cara. While her mid 1990’s CD Little Misunderstood sees her playing with total familiarity and command of the fusion idiom, her latest releases, Reunion of Souls, The Power of Three, and Bull’s Eye represent her love of contemporary straight-ahead jazz.
In 1995 Sheryl was awarded third place in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Guitar Competition, and has toured South America on behalf of the US State Department as a Jazz Ambassador, honoring the music of Duke Ellington. She currently leads her own trio, The Sheryl Bailey Three (Gary Versace on Hammond B3 and Ian Froman on drums). Her 2002 release, The Power of Three was critically acclaimed and charted in the top 20 of the Jazz Week radio charts. The trio conjures the essence of the Grant Green/ Larry Young/ Elvin Jones band of the late 60’s.
She is also in demand as an educator. Sheryl has been an Assistant Professor of Guitar at the esteemed Berklee College of Music since 2000, and has been a popular clinician at the National Guitar Summer workshop, The Stanford Jazz Workshop, The Duquesne Jazz Guitar Seminar, Uarts in Philadelphia, and at Southern Cross University in Lismore, Australia.
Sheryl’s latest release is titled, Bull’s Eye. The CD features nine new compositions and tightly woven improvisations from the trio. A track from the disc, “ Old and Young Blues” will be featured in the Master Anthology of Jazz solos, vol. IV by Mel Bay in January 2005. She is also working on a book for Mel Bay about modern approaches to jazz improvisation. She keeps a hectic itinerary touring, teaching, and recording.
