In 2012 Floriaan Wempe released his album Flo’s Flow. A fresh and adventurous CD, on which 7 out of 8 tracks are Floriaan's compositions. The music can be categorized as melodic, energetic and romantic jazz, ranging from swinging neobop to latin and funk influences.

In the last year, Floriaan developed and profiled himself as a soloist in different contexts and as a section player with ensembles such as New Cool Collective and the Royal Conservatory Big Band. As a soloist, Floriaan won the Leidse Jazz Award 2012, including the audience award and in March that year he was nominated for the prestigious Deloitte Jazz Award.

Toon Roos is considered one of the finest tenor and soprano saxophonists in Europe whose lyrical, intuitive and well-balanced style of playing is appreciated by international audiences, press and colleagues alike. Since the start of his career in 1984 Toon has developed his own sound by playing different styles of music, from the big band swing tradition to hardbop, from bossa nova to funk and fusion. Toon has performed with many groups and artists in clubs, theatres and at jazz festivals in most European countries, as well as in the United States, South Africa, Mexico, the Caribbean and China.

His latest album Angel Dance, was released in september 2011 on the Challenge Records label.
