John Natsoulas - Center for the Arts “Visitors from out of state might never expect to find one of Northern California’s most ambitious galleries in the university town of Davis . . . But for some years art dealer John Natsoulas has been staging significant shows devoted to less-studied aspects of West Coast art and documenting them with well-made catalogues.” (ARTnews ) |

Scott Nichols Gallery "The Scott Nichols Gallery is a fine art photography gallery located in downtown San Francisco. The gallery shows a combination of established, up and coming and contemporary photographe. The gallery opened in 1992 and houses one of the largest private collections of Brett Weston photographs as well as an extensive inventory of photographs by classic California photographers such as Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, Dorothea Lange, Imogen Cunningham, Ruth Bernhard, Wynn Bullock, and William Garnett. Though the gallery is located in the upscale gallery district of the Union Square area, Scott Nichols has a very casual and friendly style. This is not the typical white walled gallery affair." |

Our extensive inventory emphasizes contemporary photography, Modernist and experimental work from the 1920s and 1930s, and 19th century photography. From inception, our mission has been to help define and participate in the evolving understanding of the history of photography." |

Robert Tat Gallery “Robert Tat has a special interest in 20th century European and American Modernism. This includes classic modernism (photographs made between the two World Wars), and extends to a broader range of work influenced by the modernist school. It also encompasses 19th century photographs that anticipate modernism, vernacular and other anonymous works with a modernist sensibility, and contemporary works." |

Corden Potts Gallery The gallery is dedicated to exhibiting the work of outstanding contemporary photographers. "We came to realize long ago t hat there are all too few ghalleries dedicated to showing the work of top-notch comtemporary photographers and, of those galleries that existed back when we were starting out, a huge percentage have dissappeared. In response, we have now to put our experiences as photographeres and a curators into practice to help fill this void" -- Elizabeth Cordern and Jan Potts |

Clairdee A wonderful jazz singer with great stage presence and a wonderful lustrous voice and soulful delivery. "My mission is to uplift and inspire through music. In that regard, I consider myself a soul singer — reaching from the inside out, telling stories, stirring emotions, helping my listeners feel good. My goal is to continue creating, finding and telling new stories that bring us all closer together. That’s what music is all about." -Clairdee |

Esperanza Spaulding A wonderful, fresh talent and besides being a great jazz singer she is one of the best bass players around. Voted the "Best New Artist" at the 2011 Grammy Awards. She has been nominated for the 2012 NCLR ALMA Award® in the category of Best Female Music Artist. On February 26, 2012, Spalding performed at the 84th Academy Awards, singing the Louis Armstrong standard "What a Wonderful World", alongside the Southern California Children's Chorus to accompany the video montage that celebrated the film industry greats who died in 2011 and early 2012. In November 2013, Spalding released a protest/action single "We Are America" to protest the Guantánamo prison camps, with cameo performances by Stevie Wonder and Harry Belafonte. |

Michael Franks What can I say about the great person and singer. A wonderful lyrisist and great composer and a very hip performer. He is a smooth jazz singer and songwriter, has an extensive set of recordings and has also recorded with a variety of well-known artists -- such as Patti Austin, Brenda Russell, Art Garfunkel, and David Sanborn. His songs have been recorded by The Manhattan Transfer, Patti Labelle, Carmen McRae, Diana Krall, Shirley Bassey and The Carpenters. |

Melody Gardot Melody Gardot is a Grammy-nominated American singer, writer and musician in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, though she considers herself a "citizen of the world". She has been influenced by such blues and jazz artists as Judy Garland, Janis Joplin, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Stan Getz and George Gershwin as well as Latin music artists such as Caetano Veloso. Her music has been compared to that of Nina Simone. |

Shirley Horn Although she is sadly gone now, and greatly missed, she is certainly one of the greats of the idiom. Shirley Horn's music is centered on her singing, in a fairly low register and a traditional blues-jazz style, and her piano playing, which is technically accomplished. Her repertoire includes original compositions and standards drawn mostly from classic rock, including "Ode to Billie Joe," "A Taste of Honey," and "Black Magic Woman." Although she could swing as strongly as any straight-ahead jazz artist, her reputation rode on her exquisite ballad work. |
 |
Patricia Barber Her music is centered on her singing, in a fairly low register and a traditional blues-jazz style, and her piano playing, which is technically accomplished. She is known for imbuing her songs with intelligence and a wide and unusual vocabulary, which results in complex and witty lyrics. |
