Mikaela Talley Trio

Mikaela Talley is a jazz vocalist whose warm, expressive voice weaves the timelessness of jazz with echoes of soul — a voice shaped by a lifetime immersed in a layered blend of musical traditions.  Her rich, emotive sound is deeply influenced by jazz legends Billie Holiday and Nancy Wilson, while also reflecting the influence of artists such as Marvin Gaye, Dionne Warwick, Joni Mitchell, and Bob Marley. Her career has spanned gospel, musical theatre, classical, reggae — including many years leading an all women reggae band in Hawaii — and jazz, each genre contributing to her distinctive tone and dynamic phrasing.

Lew Scott, bassist, has been performing in the New York area and throughout the country for many years. He has performed with many notable musicians, including Clark Terry, Conti Condoli, Frank Rosolino, Joe Lavano, Herb Ellis, George Coleman, Dave Liebman, Jack Sheldon, Peggy Stern and John Abercrombie, as well as many others.

Tim Regusis is a pianist and keyboardist  who has been active in the jazz scene of the New York City region as well as in the fields of R&B, Latin and various world musics for many years.
