Working as a duo, The Jazz Cats are Ed Kreps (bass) and Patrick Ryan (guitar, vocals). They perform a mix of standards from the “Great American Songbook” and music from many genres including country, pop, and show tunes.

Ed spent 30 years as a music teacher and conductor in the Oakland Unified and Santa Rita School Districts. In addition to his work with Patrick, he has been a member of several symphonic orchestras and played in pit bands for both MPC Theater and Pac. Rep. Patrick has performed in bands in both Southern California and Monterey County. His musical experience includes pit and work for MPC Theater, Pac. Rep., and Ariel Theatrical. He has shared the stage with many local musicians including Bruce Foreman, Bob Phillips, George Young, and Lee Durley.
