Artist description This hot duo consists of guitarist Roberto Tyson and drummer/multi-instrumentalist Cedric Givens, two incredibly talented musicians and songwriters who have written and performed together since their early teens. Together their musical influences combine to create a genuinely unique sound that overwhelmingly connects with listeners. Roberto Tyson who was born in Cuba and reared in Puerto Rico and New York brings Latin, Caribbean and traditional jazz influences to the music. Roberto was schooled in the ways of the grand masters of jazz guitar from an early age. As a prodigy in his early youth he played along side his father, also a guitarist, with the premier musicians of the time and developed a reputation as one of the best players around. Cedric Givens a drummer by training listened to and experimented every genre of music that he was exposed. In his teens he settled into a groove oriented funk/fusion style of playing, which he brings in his live performances. As a writer Cedric’s compositions combine the best of a variety of musical influences to create melodies and harmonies that seamlessly blend to create a “smooth sound”. This release also features the talents of world-class percussionist Gumbi Ortiz (of the Al DiMeola Band) and the sultry and captivating vocalist Marcy "Lady Ann" Hamilton. Also lending their musical and production talents are keyboardist Vernon Burrell and bassist Derek Burrell.
