Favoring the professional-level written arrangements, Ron Fink and the Rowdies have the classical training to read these intricate charts, and the innate jazz sense to make them swing.

Banjoist Scott Whitfield is nationally-known, and bassist Matt Tolentino is a multi-instrument talent. Kent Ellingson is a fine pianist, and Ron Fink holds the group together on drums.
