Christian Euman / Aidan Carroll / Andrew Renfroe

Christian Euman is an important emerging voice on the drum set, and his unique style, creative approach to performance and improvisation, and infectious energy keeps him in high demand. His musicianship was shaped during his tenure as a student at Western Michigan University, as well as at the prestigious Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Performance at UCLA (now known as the Herbie Hancock Institute), where he studied and shared many stages with Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Chris Potter, John Patitucci, Stefon Harris, and many more. Christian has since performed and toured worldwide with Kurt Elling, Billy Childs, Walter Smith III, Jacob Collier, Sara Gazarek, Will Vinson, Mike Moreno, and many others.

Aidan Carroll has had an expansive career as an acoustic and electric bassist. With an ability to seamlessly navigate musical styles ranging from jazz to rock to r&b, Aidan has performed all over the world with such artists as Lisa Fischer, Fred Hersch, Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds, and Melody Gardot. In the second act of his career, Carroll has taken his diverse skills and talents into the world of music production. As a producer he’s been able to utilize his full musical potential and love of different genres to carve out a unique lane in the recording industry. Aidan is currently working with a variety of artists and songwriters helping them to develop their music. Originally from Oklahoma City, Aidan now resides in the city of Los Angeles with his wife and dog.

From Jupiter, Florida, with a Master of Music from Juilliard (2016), Andrew Renfroe credits much of his sound to his development at The Jackie McLean Institute of Jazz in Hartford, CT, where he earned his Bachelor of Music in 2013. He has performed in the bands of Steve Davis, Nat Reeves, Javon Jackson, Terrace Martin, Mike LeDonne, and J.D.  Allen.  Currently, he is a member of many working groups including those led by veterans Carmen Lundy, David Weiss and Ned Goold, as well as groups led by his peers Braxton Cook, Jonathan Barber, Jonathon Pinson, Luke Sellick, Arnold Lee, and countless others. Renfroe’s own projects reflect his diverse influences and have included a re-imagining of Delta Blues legend and originator Son House’s music through the aesthetic of the John Coltrane Quartet, as well as a project which takes traditional music from Burkina Faso and Mali, West Africa and places it in a modern jazz quartet setting. Both of these projects were presented at Jazz at Lincoln Center.
