Daniel Iannucci: Bass
Originally from Raleigh, North Carolina, Daniel Iannucci has been a fixture of the Western North Carolina music scene for nearly two decades. A graduate of Western Carolina University, where he studied with acclaimed bassist Eliot Wadopian, Iannucci has performed with regional symphonies, theater productions, jazz ensembles, and touring acts, including the internationally acclaimed Resonant Rogues. Equally at home in jazz, roots, and contemporary music, he remains one of Asheville's most versatile and sought-after bassists.
Dylan Hannan: Saxophone, Clarinet & Flute
A native of Florida, Dylan Hannan is a versatile reed player whose career spans jazz, classical, salsa, R&B, and beyond. A former member of the Glenn Miller Orchestra, he has performed throughout the United States and Canada and shared the stage with artists including Arturo Sandoval, Dave Liebman, and Emmet Cohen. Since relocating to Asheville in 2022, Hannan has become a highly regarded performer, known for his expressive playing and adventurous improvisation.
Taylor Pierson: Piano & Organ
Widely regarded as one of Asheville's finest improvisers, Taylor Pierson is a first-call pianist and keyboardist whose soulful, intuitive playing has made him a favorite among bandleaders across the region. Deeply rooted in both jazz and blues, Pierson is known for performances that feel spontaneous, honest, and deeply connected. He is also the keyboardist for the house band at J Lloyd's Mash Up, the long-running Monday night jam at One World Brewing West, where his musical versatility and improvisational brilliance are on full display.
Joe Enright: Drums
Joe Enright is one of Asheville's most in-demand drummers, composers, and bandleaders. A driving force behind projects including Sugar Bomb, After Ours, Orange Moon, and the Ben Colvin Quartet, Enright approaches jazz as both a tradition and a mindset.
