	(Ian) Tyson Morrow (BA Composition ­ Berklee College of Music) began to play guitar professionally in 1995. Though fluent in various styles (jazz, bluegrass, jam, funk, R&B), a longtime love of the bop and post­bop years in American jazz has been a constant inspiration. With the UJQ, Tyson is able to exercise this energy along with some thickly Latin­flavored percussion jams when the mood suits.

	Drummer Mike Appolonia studied engineering in college while attending the Hartt School of Music jazz program run by the legendary hard-bop saxophonist Jackie McLean.  Mike is a versatile player who has performed and recorded styles including rock, New Orleans and jazz.  Mike draws his drumming cues from jazz favorites such as Max Roach and Tony Williams.
