Before giving the rundown of the people who've been in the band, let me point out what incredibly skilled musicians have been assembled by Rich to make the Shuffle Demons. They chose an untraditional form of jazz for expressing their talents, and perhaps consequentally never hit it big with GRP or anything, but the combined creative energy is immense, and the scale of popularity in their native Canada is a tribute to their efforts. From George's wonderfully melodic basslines and Stich's innovative beats, to each of the saxophonist's skill and agility. Just the head's a joy to listen to, and you can't wait for the solos from each of them.
