The bulk of institute participants are classical pianists, but a significant number hail from the jazz community. Here are a few pianists "from the other side" who have benefitted from Alan Fraser's approach.
Hanno Beckers has been playing and composing jazz and pop/rock for several decades in Wuppertal, Germany, home of the famous Schwebebahn. He has also taught piano for almost as long, and has been of great assistance in developing Alan Fraser's Pianimals.
Chad Linsley is one of Montreal's pre-eminent jazz pianists, and has been featured on Mike Rudd's Juno Award-winning album, Notes from Montreal as well as on numerous albums by Juno Award-winning singer Ranee Lee. Check out his solo with Ranee at 3:20 - ebullient, dashing and eminently tasteful.
