Bio:

At its unusual inception, The Emergency Jazz club was
merely a high school senior project experiment.
However, this school project soon proved to be the
impetus for a jazz quartet that has greatly expanded
its breadth of musical styles since high school. With
a repertoire of both jazz standards and original
pieces, the groups sonic range encompasses up-beat
swing, rock, mellow ballads, and swanky horn-driven
blues.

The group’s founder and trumpeter Brian Schroeder has
done the majority of his study under the popular
Sonoma County jazz professor and band leader Pete
Estabrook. In addition, he has played lead trumpet in
the acclaimed Windsor High School jazz band, and
performed with many other school bands in both
classical and jazz settings. Beyond his Davisian
style horn playing, Schroeder utilizes his experience
with computers to provide the group’s recording and
multimedia needs.

In the spirit of post-bop saxophonist Pepper Adams,
Tyler Callister fills out the band’s aural spectrum
with the baritone sax. Prior to joining the Jazz
Club, Callister quenched his musical thirst by playing
in the Windsor High School jazz band, mentoring young
music students in the Windsor Middle School music
program, and playing guitar for the hard rock band
Closer Distance. Callister has been featured in Bay
Area music magazine Section M, and was nominated for
The Press Democrat’s Youth Service in Music award in
2002.

Often finding musical inspiration in everything from
big band jazz to video game music, Eben Miller
provides the Jazz Club’s sharp percussion section.
Miller has studied with Sonoma County drum veteran
Rick Cutler, and done broader music studies at the
Santa Rosa Junior College. When not playing with the
Jazz Club Miller plays drums with the rock band Black
Cardio, and does solo composition and recording on the
keyboard.

Pianist Josh Cuellar has been intensely studying the
keys for as long as he can remember. Much of
Cuellar’s performance experience has been in the
medium of music theater where he has served as the
pianist for the Windsor High School production of Your
A Good Man Charlie Brown, and served as both pianist
and music director for the school’s production of
Little Shop Of Horrors. He has also played for
several years with the Windsor High School chorus and
Windsor High School jazz band, and provided solo music
for events at Kendall Jackson Winery.
