Jim Alfredson is the product of a musically gifted family. He was encouraged by his father, a professional musician, to pursue music as a child. Alfredson fondly recalls playing with the drawbars on his father&rsquo;s Hammond&reg; B3, when he was just a little tiny tyke, at the tender age of four.
The music prodigy started writing songs at the age of 8 on a Yamaha&reg; organ. The call of the Hammond&reg; continued beckoning him and by age 16 he was enthralled with the Hammond&reg; and learned everything he possibly could about the precision instrument. Today, he is a Hammond&reg; endorsed artist!
Alfredson has enjoyed steady work professionally. For a decade, he was the musical director and organist for the award-winning band, Root Doctor, and produced 3 albums for the group.
In the year 2000, Jim Afredson founded the jazz group organissimo, where he released 5 albums, as well as a DVD. He has worked for numerous professional stage acts around the United States and excels in jazz and blues. 
Alfredson is a highly sought after best-selling producer, arranger, engineer, vocalist and songwriter.
His contributions to &ldquo;What, Me Worry?&rdquo; will astound the listener!

Brian Charette is a household name in the world of modern jazz.
Just like Jim Alfredson, music was also a family affair for young Brian Charette, whose mother, Catherine, introduced him to music!
Before he was even out of high school, the young man was sharing the stage with jazz legends, including Lou Donaldson and Houston Person.
Studying music was inevitable and Charette graduated UConn with a Bachelor of Arts in Music in 1994.
As a professional musician, Charette tours extensively in the United States and Europe, performing in places such as Budapest and the Czech Republic.
Brian Charette is a top-selling artist, with over 20 albums to his credit. Many of his albums became best-sellers on iTunes and were featured in Jazzweek.
Endorsed by Hammond&reg; organs, Casio&reg;, and many other elite level instrument brands, Charette is a versatile, award-winning recording artist, who won the 2014 Downbeat Critics&rsquo; "Poll Rising Star: Organ&rdquo; award and the 2015 Hot House Magazine &ldquo;Fan&rsquo;s Decision Jazz Award for Best Organist&rdquo;. In 2022, he received 3rd place honors in the Downbeat Critic&rsquo;s Poll for Hammond Organ&reg;.
In addition to extensive touring as a solo artist, Brian Charette has shared the stage with Joni Mitchell, Chaka Khan, Paul Simon, Cyndi Lauper, Oz Noy, Vinnie Colaiuta and John Patitucci to name a few.
As an author, Brian Charette penned &ldquo;101 Hammond&reg; B3 Tips,&rdquo; released by Hal Leonard&reg; Publishing. It's like a little encyclopedia for Hammond&reg; brothers and sisters!
Listen for his distinct style on &ldquo;What, Me Worry?&rdquo;
Last, but certainly not least, Illinois native Robby Robinson is the mastermind behind the song, "What, Me Worry?"
