Mary Osborne
Osborne's savvy improv skills and natural talent earned her a headlining spot on a Dizzy Gillespie show. Her main influence was Charlie Christian, and it reflects in her playing style. She and her husband, trumpeter Ralph Scaffidi, taught music and played local shows together in LA. She typicallyp lays on a Gibson ES-150.
Ana Popovic
Popovic was featured on the Experience Hendrix tours, and she released her most ambitious album last year, Trilogy. It goes beyond her usual rock-funk-jazz infused sound, making for a deeper listen. She plays on '57 and '64 Fender Stratocasters.
