Maryia Hare, Vocals
Maryia Hare has been a jazz junkie since she was a kid. She is originally from Russia, where jazz was forbidden during the Cold War, so now she tries to make up for it by giving all her passion to this exquisite style of music. Respecting the classics, Maryia also welcomes an eclectic and creative approach to jazz by mixing different jazz styles and adding cultural variety to her performance – she sings in four languages! Come see it for yourself! She is also an aspiring actress and really creates a focal point when singing with her dance moves, infectious personality and poise.

Wayne Licker, Drums

Wayne Licker began drumming with the 7th grade school band playing the snare drum. Moving on to high school in the late 60’s, he purchased his first drum kit and began playing with numerous rock and blues bands in Northern New Jersey. Upon seeing Buddy Rich play one evening on television, his life was turned upside down and decided jazz drumming was the ultimate in creativity. Never looking back, Wayne forged ahead with intense focus, taking private drum kit lessons and sharpening his technique over many hours of practice. Heavily influenced by the jazz-fusion and funk bands popular in the 70’s, Wayne sought out and played with local jazz bands in NJ replicating tunes by the likes of David Sanborn, Tom Scott, Herbie Hancock, Billy Cobham, etc. This time out; Wayne, after moving to GA has now gone "back to his roots" & has been performing with "The Northside Jazz Trio" and with the "The FlyCats" on some "north-side-of-town" gigs swinging away, playing cool traditional jazz. Wayne is our "Go-To" guy in case Rich needs a break.

Richard Stone, Saxophone

Richard started playing the Alto Saxophone at age 5 back in 1962. He played all throughout his grammar school and high school days including classical concert bands, jazz bands, and even a dixieland band. In his senior year of high school he competed and won the prestigious Louis Armstrong Jazz Award and also started experimenting with rock bands. Richard liked rock and tended to play the sax more like a lead guitar than a jazz saxophone. After High school he joined a rock band in Butler New Jersey called "Beyond Bourgeois" and played the local club circuit for a few years. The band eventually broke up due to the normal life cycles most people go through like marriage and family. Then he joined a blues band called "Waffle Davis". The band consisted of bass guitar, drums, sax, harp player and a keyboard player and  played a lot of stuff by "James Cotton" and "Muddy Waters". Following the "Waffle Davis band Richard went back to rock and roll and joined an all original rock group called "Finger Lickin' Good". FLG were well accepted wherever they went but decided that the name of the band sounded too 'country'. They decided to change the name to "The Screamin' Blue Jays". During  his time with 'The Screamin' Blue Jays' they opened for such acts as "Chuck Berry", "Suzanne Fellini", and "Blackfoot". He remained with the band until 1987 when he moved to Cape Coral Florida. From 1987 to 2005 Richard played in local churches and a jazz trio. The jazz trio played mostly at the Ritz Carlton and LaPlaya hotels in Naples Florida. In 2005 he said goodbye to Florida moved to Kodak, Tennessee. In Kodak he became part of a very large Christmas production that plays to from 6000 to 8000 people every December. He also plays in the local church.
