Tom Djll - “
Tom Djll has taken the trumpet as far beyond its silver, snarling vernacular as it is possible to go. His trumpet extensions are in some respects no different to what early jazzmen used as punctuation devices or timbral effects. Few have gone as far as Djll, though, in making such articulations the entire substance of a piece."- The Wire (excerpt)
Jon Raskin -
Jon Raskin has been a member of Rova Saxophone Quartet for the last 28 years exploring the relationship of improvisation and composition, developing and honing the language of ensemble music and researching linguistic possibilities of the saxophone.
T.D. Skatchit - while on a visit to the Thomas Skatchit workshop cousin David picked up the combs and began to play the Skatchbox. And so
T.D. Skatchit was formed to spread the Skatch throughout the land performing with other traveling minstrels at carnivals and sideshows or wherever people would listen.
