Linda Fennimore stands at the forefront of jazz violinists, a real muscian whose lyrical playing has drawn accolades from the now late Stephane Grappelli (himself the acknowledged master of the genre), and rave reviews from The New York Times, Variety, New York Daily News and a host of other publications. Her most valued possession is a violin of Grappellis, given to her by him, after a tour together in Europe. Linda is not only the foremost female proponent of the form - she is one of the most talented violinists currently playing jazz and pop music, regardless of gender. She is also incredibly versatile, backed up by her classical training and blessed with the ability to play anything from fusion to chamber music to top 40.

Steve Rudolph was born in Evansville, Indiana on April 10th, 1949, and spent his formative years in Southern Indiana. His musical training began as a trumpet student, receiving first place for trumpet performance at the Indiana State Solo & Ensemble contest five years in a row, '63 - '67. At Butler University, 67-70, he studied with Delbert Dale and Jackson Wiley among others. The rich jazz tradition in Indianapolis (Montgomery Brothers, Floyd Smith, Ann Chamberlain, Jimmy Coe, Claude Sifferlin, Steve Allee, Carroll DeCamp, John Von Ohlen, Pookie Johnson) fed his interest and at age 21 (1972), he changed his main instrumental focus from the trumpet to the piano. In '77 he was hired by Buddy Morrow to perform with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra where he backed up Helen O'Connell and the Mills Brothers. Steve left the Dorsey tour after one year and moved to Harrisburg, PA to lead a trio six nights a week at the Holiday Inn Town. Guest artists Johnny Coles, Jr. Cook, Ira Sullivan, Al Grey, Bob Mintzer, Joe Lovano, Eric Kloss, Sal Nistico, John Von Ohlen, Terry Silverlight, Roger Rosenberg and others apperaed with Steve's trio. By the time the job at the Holiday ended in '80, Steve's reputation in Central PA had grown and he was very much in demand. He stayed in Harrisburg, performing regularly and serving as an advocate for his art form, organizing a jazz society (the Central PA Friends of Jazz), hosting jazz radio programs, teaching, and booking jazz artists in area clubs and concert venues.
