Since he squeezed out of his mother’s womb in the late 1980s he has been on the search for the perfect object to squeeze to his heart’s content: tooth paste tubes, small dogs (none were hurt), lemons, old futons.

Now he spends his days with his squeeze box howl- ing away at the moon in delight, grateful to Royal Jelly Jive for taking this mad man in. Trumpter Danny Cao re- calls singing along to recording of Chuck Berry’s “My Ding- A-Ling” as one of his earliest memories, setting the stage for an active early youth singing so- los with the local church choir. He has vivid memories of the sounds, textures, arrangements, and album covers of Georges Moustaki and The Beatles, all part of his mother’s record col- lection. He picked up the trumpet at the age of 20. Drummer Felix Macnee doesn’t even remember being carried, at the tender age of two, into a Chicago nightclub to hear Charles Mingus, but he does remember falling asleep inside his godfather’s bass drum, and feeling a great sense of mystery in the sound of a cymbal. He is writing a book about drumming entitled “Geometry in Time.” Tyden Binsted began playing upright bass at age 15, almost immediately after hearing Thelo- nious Monk’s composition “Off 0LQRU´ IRU WKH ¿UVW WLPH$IWHU cutting his teeth with the arrang- er Ray Brown and the experi- mental jazz trio Medeski Martin & Wood, Binsted moved to San Francisco in 2009. Equipped with a clarinet and saxophone, Robby Elfman has the smooth power to move you in ways you haven’t moved since the last time you went to yoga. With decades of experi- ence in L.A. as a jazz musician and composer, he now resides in northern California where he lounges in a clawfoot tub writing out a symphony, awaiting the ur- gent call on the bat phone from Royal Jelly Jive.
