Kerry Politzer, aka Kerry Primrose in SL, started picking out melodies on a toy piano at the age of three. The following year, she started playing the real thing. She studied classical piano for fourteen years, attending the North Carolina School of the Arts and summer programs at Tanglewood and Interlochen. She entered the New England Conservatory of Music with the intention of continuing her classical studies, but fell in love with jazz. She studied with jazz guru Charlie Banacos, who inspired her to begin composing, and graduated with a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Piano Performance.
In 1996, Kerry was one of six finalists in the American Pianists Association's 3rd Biennial Jazz Piano Competition. Half of the contestants were from New York City, so she decided to try her luck there. She soon discovered a brand-new love, Brazilian music, which began to inform her jazz compositions. Her composition Rhodes Rage won Third Prize, Jazz Category in the 2005 International Songwriting Competition. Her composition “Begin The Baiao” won Third Prize, Jazz Category in the 2000 Mid-Atlantic Song Competition and an Honorable Mention in the 2000 John Lennon Songwriting Competition.

In 2003 and 2005, Kerry attended the Banff Jazz Workshop, performing original music in master classes, shows and concerts. Kerry’s debut CD, Yearning, which received four stars from All Music Guide, was released by CAP Records in 2001. The title track, “Yearning,” is also featured on Sax And The City: Musical Contributions From New York's Best Women Jazz Instrumentalists (Apria Records, 2004). Kerry released three more CDs on her own Polisonic label: Watercolor (2002), Labyrinth (2005), and the singer-songwriter project You Took Me In (2007). Labyrinth was a finalist for Best Jazz Album in the 2007 Independent Music Awards. A track on You Took Me In, “Love Is In The Atmosphere,” won 1st Prize, Jazz in the August 2008 Ourstage competition. She performed this song at the Songwriters Hall of Fame's 62nd New Writers Showcase.

Kerry's latest instrumental jazz CD, Blue in Blue, was released by Piloo Records in Spring 2010. She also appeared on three tracks of George Colligan's album Runaway (Sunnyside, 2008).

Trowzer Boa aka Dave Renz è un sassofonista e compositore di San Francisco: nei suoi concerti in Second Life ricrea l'atmosfera cool e vibrante dei locali jazz della sua città.
Trow inworld si fa accompagnare dalla sua Robot Band:in realtà i Robot sono la riproduzione in 3d dei programmi di software utilizzati dal musicista per creare gli arrangiamenti che fanno da sfondo al suo sax, rigorosamente suonato live.
Musica e tecnologia si coniugano ancora una volta per dare vita in Second Life a godibilissime performances live

Trowzer Boa is rl saxophonist/composer Dave Renz.  Dave Renz performs on the east Coast, playing mainly acoustic jazz.  For information about his latest projects and products check him out here (You can listen to samples and buy original music there, and find out when he will be in your area!)

Trow says:"The Robot Band symbolizes the music programs used to create the sounds you hear tonight...any voice and sax you hear is me, live...any other sound is created through a series of software packages.  Working with the robot band allows me to provide a great sound in sl, yet still play my instrument live and  spontaneaously.

It is my hope that as I gain comfort with the technology we will bring a variety of jazz related music to SL, including cooperative projects with other live SL musicians from across the globe".

Ininziando dallo  scratch, JooZz ci accompagna verso destinazion molto eccitanti , trasformando panorami  mozzafiato in gioielli incastonati di suoni brillanti.Talvolta  i suoni che produce sono adatti anche per essere ballati, corposi ed arricchiti da intense dosi di malinconia e lezioni di vita.
Utilizzando il piano come principale punto  di riferimento, le composizioni di JooZz, independenti da qualunque stile musicale , fanno viaggiare la nostra mente fino all prossima volta in cui schiacceremo nuovamente il pulsante  ‘play’ .
