RODNEY LEE - KEYBOARDS


Lee’s sound is honed from years of work on the road and in the studio with artists as diverse as pop artists Jody Watley, new comer Anastacia, Chante Moore, El DeBarge, Chris Standring, Dakota Moon, jazz icons Freddie Hubbard and the Jazz Crusaders, and acid jazz group Solar System.

Prior to producing Innocent Bystander, his debut solo project, Rodney made a name for himself in Los Angeles music circles as a remarkably versatile player. He can coax the blues or a '70’s groove out of the Hammond B3, create sensitive portraits from an acoustic piano or program some of the wildest atmospheric effects imaginable. He is currently producing a number of projects including Jody Watley, Jeff Robinson, and Wade-3. Rodney is responsible for co-producing all of Chris Standring's solo projects.

DAVID KARASONY - DRUMS


By the time he was 9, Dave was practicing rudimentary drumming skills, in the style of Charlie Wilcox and Murray Spivak. His dad took him to Cal State Northridge to see the Percussive Arts Society perform, and Dave was hooked. He would eventually win the same Percussive arts Society drumset competition 2 years in a row, in 1979 and 1980. Dave has a very extensive list of playing credits- its a who's who of contemporary jazz: he's played with everyone from Pat Benatar, Peter White, Jeff Golub, Marc Antoine, Dave Koz, David Benoit, Brian Bromberg, Art Garfunkel, Al Kooper, Al Stewart, Warren Hill, Rick Braun, and Lee Oskar.

Dave is married to Yvonne, his wife, and they live with their dog, Razor. Dave likes basketball- he's a Lakers fanatic, and he likes Italian food.
