Known for his expressive tone, adventurous improvisation, and deep musical sensitivity, Wozniak regularly performs with many of the Midwest’s most respected ensembles.

Zacc Harris is a guitarist and composer based in Minneapolis. Harris has established himself as a leading voice in the Twin Cities jazz landscape, garnering praise for his technical prowess and emotive expression. In 2017, following the release of his folk jazz trio recording, American Reverie, he was named Best Twin Cities Jazz Artist by City Pages. His 2021 Zacc Harris Group album Small Wonders received wide critical acclaim, including an elusive 4-star review in DownBeat magazine and a place in their Best Albums of the Year list.

Renowned jazz critic Bill Milkowski wrote for JazzTimes Magazine, “Twin Cities modern jazz renegades shift nimbly from a punk-jazz aesthetic to ECM-ish sensitivity…startlingly original stuff.”
