Richard R. Scherer
Guitarist Universally undisputed super-genius guitar virtuoso. Master of musical transcendentalism, stretcher of the Jazz envelope. The "God of the Guitar" nickname doggedly follows Scherer to this day.
This musical giant's humble origin was the coal mining and steel towns of Pennsylvania. The guitar provided a refuge from the harsh conditions in the wilds of Appalachia. Through hard work and perseverance Scherer attained his unrivaled dexterity and developed his ingenious new jazz interpretations.
Influenced early by Bach, Vivaldi and Paganini, then later by Coltrane, Hendrix and MacAlpine, Scherer
has dedicated his life to the cause of progressive jazz-rock fusion. Never
has there been a more serious and influential artist in any idiom.
Scherer is credited for spearheading the fusion movement in the 1970's.
Experimenting with new music forms at Carnegie-Mellon University. Awarded
the coveted Peace Prize for artistic achievement. Voted best overall musician
by the Professional Arts Foundation every year since 1987, inducted into the Fusion
Hall of Fame Gallery of Greats, and the rest is history

Born Linda Hui-ping Lam in her native homeland, San Francisco; Linda has realized many of her dreams in a mere two years, getting her first taste of film acting in 2006 at the tender age of 17. Within a year she was asked to be a book cover model and was interviewed in Purple Magazine's premier issue. She has worked with many Bay Area artists and appeared in the popular music video Tonight Tonight, which is currently being aired on LogoTV.
Linda is best known as a model and burgeoning actress destined for stardom. Though with a quiet and shy disposition, having worked with over 40 Bay Area photographers, her unique personal image and lively, quirky character comes alive in many of her photoshoots. And with her "Kaleidoscope" eyes, Linda sets herself apart from other models by creating humorous and comical facial expressions. The perfect figurehead for Jazzcult.
