About
This artist does not have a bio yet.
Stacy's concept is original and inspiring. He is completely unpredictable and doesn't bore you with stock licks. In fact he doesn't bog himself down with just playing chord changes, and he plays ideas. He's a true improviser.
Eric Reed, pianist & composer
Stacy Dillard, raised in Muskegon Heights, Michigan, started playing the saxophone at a rather late age. In his hometown, there isn't much music happening, but only Robert Moore, Stacy's band instructor, and a host of close friends. Athletics was a big part of his life, leading to the late start on the instrument. Stacy attended college at Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio to study with Dr. William Denza, Jim Smith, Chris Berg, and Lenard Moses. Very quickly, Dillard acquired the necessary knowledge that would soon put his name out on the local scene. It was a run-in with Wynton Marsalis in Dayton, Ohio that would turn his attention to the New York Scene. After graduation, Stacy took the act to Cincinnati, where he stayed for a short time and made his first recording appearance with Mike Wade on trumpet, drummer Melvin Broach and pianist William Menefield. Maturation was very rapid, finally leading the way to New York.
Stacy is a one-of-a-kind musician. Seriously."
Roy Hargrove
A young saxophonist of serious promise (Ben Ratliff, The New York Times), Stacy has caught the attention of many with his large and rich tone, developed ideas, accurate technique, work ethic, and patience, leading to a number of working opportunities. Dillard has played with Winard Harper, Cindy Blackmon, Lenny White, Norman Simmons, Frank Lacy, Wycliffe Gordon, Eric Reed, Roy Hargrove, Stephon Harris, Ernestine Anderson, Terrell Stafford, Herlin Riley, John Hicks, Frank Wess, Mulgrew Miller, Clark Terry, Victor Lewis, Steve Wilson, Johnny O'neal, Antonio Hart, Russell Malone, Lewis Nash, Mark Whitfield, the Mingus Big Band, and a host of others in different genres of music, including Shirley Ceasar, Alex Bugnon, Stephanie Mills, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, and more.
"Hey man, this (censored) can play. This MF can PLAY!
Wynton Marsalis
As well as being a sideman, Stacy Dillard is currently leading three bands of his own. cPhyve is the genesis project, along with cPhour, which is stylistically similar to cPhyve. The Other Side is exactly what the name says. The cast of members are the same as cPhyve, but r&b/funk/hip-hop oriented.
To sum it all up, Stacy Dillard is a perfect example of the fusing of tradition and innovation, the combination which keeps EVERYTHING fresh, exciting, energetic, theraputic, and more importantly, real.

Zack Shubert is a pianist and composer who has recently been welcomed to the NYC jazz scene
where he is currently based. Originally from San Francisco, California he was a prodigy from an early age, and has been formally studying piano and music since the age of 5, developing a serious interest, deep passion, and profound reverence for this music by the age of 8 years old. In addition to his foundation as a jazz musician, he carries a sagacious and intimate love for the Western classical canon, both its linguistic precedent, as well as its technical and musical axioms. He is always attempting to amalgamate both jazz and classical in his playing, as well as approach to composing and
teaching. His Love and reverence for music intensely permeates his philosophies towards both music and the broader scope of life. He considers music to be an organic entity, and treats it with such integrity and respect. He values the Good that art can bring, and hopes to allow others to explore their
own beauty by allowing art to exist freely in the world. His intense life experience is evident, as well as his matured approach to education and teaching. In high school, he fell ill with a severe autoimmune condition, as well as injuries to his nerves that forced him to withdraw from performing for many years, eventually undergoing several operations to help recover and return to the bandstand. Zack has received 10 Downbeat awards, and in 2017 he was featured on the cover of the Student
Music Awards issue. In high school, he began touring internationally with groups such as the Next Generation Jazz Orchestra and the SFJAZZ and CJC conglomerate groups. A 2 time YoungArts winner and Vail Jazz Workshop honorary alumni, , Zack has had the opportunity to perform at The Monterey Jazz
Festival, as well as The Noto Jazz festival (Japan), and venues including SFJAZZ, Yoshi’s in Oakland CA, and regularly performs at NYC staples such as Smalls jazz club, Mezzrow, Ornithology, Close Up,
and more. Zack has had the privilege of collaborating and sharing the stage with musicians and jazz legends
including Reggie Workman, Buster Williams, Andrew Cyrille, Ravi Coltrane, Mark Turner, Billy Hart, Joshua Redman, Brad Mehldau, Dave Kikoski, Glenn Zaleski, David Wong, the SFJAZZ Collective, and more. He currently studies privately with Fred Hersch, and attends the New School as an undergraduate
on a full scholarship. For booking and performance dates, reach out to [email protected] or check
