Jennie Jones & Dennis Warne:

Jennie was raised in the Adirondack area of Northern New York, and grew up listening to the early days of Rock and Roll. She lists Charlie Parker, Billie Holiday and Louis Armstrong among her influences as a musician and vocalist.

                      In school, she developed on clarinet, all of the saxophones and flute, studying privately with reed master Dave Schiavonne. However, Jennie found her "real schooling" performing in jam sessions at the Historic Colored Musician's Club. It was here that she began to round out her musical style and first gained recognition as a serious player.

         






                    
                   Dennis Warne has been playing guitar since he was a child. Although originally self taught, he has studied with many great local musicians, including Frank Girard, Ray Chamberlain and Chris Hunt. It wasn't until he met future wife Jennie that he was truly introduced to jazz and his role as a guitarist.

                  Marc Cousins, one of Buffalo's most talened acoustic bass players, acts as the driving pulse and harmonic foundation of jazzline. Joe Ferrara, one of the area's finest jazz drummers, and Jennifer May, oustanding electric bass player, round out the Jazzline roster.
