Jillian Ashcraft
Philadelphia-based jazz vocalist Jillian Ashcraft holds both bachelor's and master's degrees in Jazz Studies Vocal Performance from Temple University, where she studied with acclaimed musicians including Carla Cook, Christie Dashiell, and Bruce Barth.
Equally at home in jazz clubs and on the swing dance scene, Ashcraft regularly performs for Philadelphia swing dance organizations including Rittenhop and Jazz Attack. She recently released her debut album, Live at Rittenhopalooza.
Oliver Mayman
Philadelphia-based vibraphonist, composer, and educator Oliver Mayman has established himself as a distinctive voice on the instrument. Beginning his musical journey on drums and piano, Mayman discovered the vibraphone as a teenager, drawn to its combination of percussive technique and harmonic possibilities. His inventive technical approach and discerning creative ear continue to push the boundaries of the instrument's role in jazz.
