Born in Dallas, he began classical piano studies at the age of six, but defected to jazz shortly thereafter. He wishfully cites his influences as Herbie Hancock and Bud Powell, but regrettably sounds nothing like them. Paul can also be heard on the Michael Gold album Personal Standards (Evander Music).    Scott Chapek is a much sought after San Francisco bassist & composer with a background in classical music & technique who has performed with a variety of jazz, rock, Latin, & popular ensembles.  Originally from the Chicago area, Scott's family includes accomplished musicians on both sides.  He has performed with many noted Bay Area musicians, such as: Mad & Eddie Duran, Dave Ellis, Warren Gale, Ed Kelly, Mel Martin, Kim Nalley, Denise Perrier, Mary Stallings, Hal Stein, Barbara Valladeres, Vince Wallace, and Paula West. Tom Hassett has been an active member of the Bay Area jazz community for over twenty years. Study with master drummer Jerry Granelli in the '70s left him largely unfit for most commercial work, and so he remains today. In recent years he worked with the Susan Chen Trio at Harris' restaurant from 1998 - 2000, and appears on their CD Harris' Nights. He has appeared on four albums by The Lost Trio (available on Evander Music), as well as singer Jenny Ferris’ 2006 album, Day In Day Out.
