Alphonso Young        

          Bhagwan Khalsa has become one of the most sought-after acoustic bassists in the Washington D. C. area. The list of musicians he has performed with is equally impressive: Sonny Fortune, Eric Alexander, Gary Thomas, Cecil Payne, David "Fathead" Newman, Kenny Drew, Jr., Howard Burns and Ron Kearns are just a few to employ his impressive musical services.

Bhagwan Khalsa on bass          After completing studies at the prestigious Grove School of Music in Los Angeles, California Khalsa has continued to forge a successful sideman career for the last decade, and his original arrangements are essential to shaping the sound of the trio. His live performances include Blues Alley, the East Coast Jazz Festival, and The Bohemian Caverns.

           Much like Eric and Al, Bhagwan is also active in musical education. He has created a service which provides in home music lessons to students of all ages. The business is called B&B Music World, and has inspired hundreds of students to follow their interest in music. Learn more at http://www.BnBMusicWorld.com
