Ryan Saranich

Saxophonist Ryan Saranich is an active performer, composer, and recording artist in Boston, Massachusetts.  While completing his degree requirements at Berklee, he keeps an extensive tour schedule and records at least one session per week as a multi-instrumentalist. In addition, Ryan gives clinics and master classes throughout the year for various music stores and institutions of higher learning with focus on the saxophone, bass, drums, and piano on a series of topics ranging from playing musically to jazz improvisation.

In addition to being a performance and recording artist, Ryan’s skill set extends to composition and arranging. Most notable is his song “If You Never Knew” which was premiered in May of 2010 by Croatia’s National Big Band, the HRT Big Band, who also performed the song for the European Broadcast Union. Ryan continues to write music for the HRT Big Band to this day. Ryan’s work can also be heard performed by the NC State “Pachelbels” Women’s Choir and a number of small-ensemble groups in the United States.

Joseph Wooten (Victor Wooten Band, musical director of the Steve Miller Band) says, “Ryan Saranich is one of the very talented upcoming young jazz writer/arranger/soloists on the scene. With his multi-leveled abilities, the sky is his only limit.”

J. Johnston (St. Croix Music Magazine May 2010) says: “….The first thing that grabbed me about Ryan’s music was his application of flowing melodic content over top of gut wrenching grooves…”

Within the previous years, Ryan has been on consistent call for saxophones, drums, bass and piano/keyboards/organ as well as a respected producer and engineer. His discography includes recordings and motion-picture scores not only from the United States, but also recordings from Brazil, Italy and many other countries; Ryan’s music can be heard on four continents.

Ryan’s music continues to grow, receiving great magazine and online reviews plus an award nomination from the Kennedy Center for theatrical score.  Since the age of five, Ryan has been studying music seriously. Upon graduating from the prestigious Northwest School of the Arts, he’s had the opportunity to focus on helping some of the finest teaching professionals in the world.

 

Martin “Musa” Musaubach

Pianist, Keyboardist, Composer, Arranger, Producer and Band Leader from Argentina, has been studying, working and developing a career in music for more than 18 years. He started playing at the age of 4.

By the age of 13 he was already working as keyboardist in Labrusca, a small Blues band from his hometown. Since then, he never stopped playing live. During the first semester of 2011 he was hired as the Musical Director of the Shangri-La Summit Wing Hotel’s Jazz band, the most important hotel in Beijing.

Currently, he is working for the Taiwan based label D.F.M.. With this label he has recorded and toured around Asia as pianist, keyboardist and band leader of Mr. Gary Chaw (曹格). He has also worked as arranger and producer of his albums. With the guidance of Mr. Michael Tu (涂惠源), Musa teamed up with Mr. Gary Chaw (曹格) to develop the now famous Project Sensation 1 ´Jazz´, an album that was number one in the charts from the day of its release, keeping that position for over a month, which gave the chance to the ´Project´ to go on tour all over Asia and Australia, selling out the Hong Kong Coliseum two nights in a row.

Musa has also collaborated with Mainstream Labels such as Sony Music and H.I.M, touring as keyboardist and band leader for the singer-songwriter Ms. Joanna Wang (王若琳) for the release of her last album ´Galaxy Crisis´ and as keyboardist for the renown alternative rock artist  Ms. Deserts Chang (張懸) as well as pianist for the talented Singaporean Pop-Jazz, Bossa Nova singer Ms. Olivia Ong (王儷婷).

Apart from his mainstream work, Martin is continually performing his original compositions in different formats, as trio, duo or solo piano,  on tours in some of the most famous jazz bars of eastern Asia such as Brown Sugar, CJW, JZ Club, CDBlues, Legacy Taipei, Riverside Café, and many others.

Musa was offered an International Endorsement deal by the Italian keyboard manufacturer Studiologic, signed at the beginning of 2013, making him the first endorser of the brand for the Asian Market.

Based in Taipei, Taiwan, since 2012 Musa has found in Asia a home away from home, and a place where he feels free to explore every aspect of music making in a career that has barely just begun.
