Touted by music critics and musicians alike as one of the most important drummers in jazz history, Roger Humphries has provided the rhythmic support for such greats as Ray Charles, Horace Silver, Richard "Groove" Holmes, Stanley Turrentine, James Moody, and countless others. Yet perhaps his greatest accomplishment is the hundreds of young jazz musicians he has mentored in Pittsburgh over the past 50 years. Many of them playing all over the world today.

Dwayne Dolphin is a master player of acoustic, electric and piccolo basses. He shares a Tonight Show with Johnny Carson commonality with Cunimondo as Dolphin played on the show with Wynton Marsalis while a member of his working band. He also has performed and toured with dozens of jazz legends ranging from Geri Allen to Fred Wesley. Pat Crossley has been Frank Cunimondo’s bassist for 18 years and has played extensively throughout the United States and Europe with artists such as Herb Ellis, Sam Dochery, Bill Hollis and performed on Good Morning America.

In addition to freelancing and serving an adjunct Instrumental Music teacher at his alma mater, Pittsburgh CAPA 6-12 Performing Arts School in Pittsburgh, bassist Paul Thompson has toured the world with trumpeter Maynard Ferguson as well as having played in saxophonist Stanley Turrentine's last touring group. Paul has performed recently with Michael Feinstein, Hubert Laws and Bob James.

Mentored by Roger Humphries, drummer Thomas Wendt maintains a busy freelancing schedule with Pittsburgh's top jazz artists and has played with many visiting international artists like David "Fathead" Newman, Donald Byrd, Jimmy Heath, Clark Terry, Benny Golson and Freddy Cole.
