About the Musicians
Don Goodman, guitar, is originally from the NY Metro area and has been playing and teaching for over 40 years. He was an Adjunct Professor and Jazz Ensemble Director for Castleton and Green Mountain Colleges in Vermont, and has performed with The Spinners, The Crystals, The Shirelles and Branford Marsalis. He moved to Ohio 14 years ago, and has been actively performing with 3 different groups regularly in a variety of venues. Influenced by Wes Montgomery, Kenny Burrell and others, Don’s style draws from a melodic jazz-blues style.
Jim Cirillo, saxophones, is a native of Lyndhurst. His musical training began on piano at age 10 and moved to saxophone at age 11. Accepted his freshman year into Jazz Impact, a regional all-star jazz ensemble, his love of jazz and improvised music developed. He has found performance opportunities at jazz festivals, featured concerts, club dates, private and corporate events throughout Northeast Ohio and New England, including opening for the Whispers at the Berklee performance center in Boston and playing a private concert for Stevie Wonder.
Edgar Cora is a jazz, blues, rock, and Latin drummer who’s been actively playing with multiple high profile bands in Northeast Ohio for over 20 years. With rhythmic roots from his home island of Puerto Rico, Edgar brings unique creativity and tasty grooves to every show. He has performed at venues large and small and has a unique ability to paint a picture with his drums, rather than simply keep time.
Warren Henry is a first call bassist for a multitude of bands and performers, including rock tribute groups, wedding bands and a variety of jazz and blues groups. He has taught for many years, ran sound for National groups, and is known as go-to utility musician for many styles. He has a gift for making other musicians sound good.
