Roy Suter has always played piano.  His mother told him that when he was a toddler she once found him playing the main melody from Around the World in Eighty Days on the family upright.  He is now primarily a jazz pianist & composer; although he has performed in many different styles throughout his career including playing with Mercury Records funk artists Creation, acid-rock group Sir Lord Baltimore, and Pickwick-Delite disco group Zakariah.  He's also shared the stage with such varied artists as Phyllis Hyman, Bill Frisell, T.M. Stevens, Frank Fontaine and Claudio Roditi; and has even recorded music for Brunswick Records, as well as, composed music for some nationally syndicated television shows.  His great love of the American Songbook is a perfect fit for his performing with Miss K..

Steve is from Baltimore, Where he was introduced to jazz on Sunday afternoons at the Famous Ball Room on Charles Street. Originally trained as a classical pianist, he was attracted to the saxophone in grade school because of its expressiveness.  When his young friends began head banging to heavy metal, he went  in a different direction discovering Trane, Bird and Dex and never looked back. He still sits in on piano occasionally enjoying being able to play lots of 'hot notes' all at once.

Steve lives in Wallingford now and practice's architecture by day and designing buildings to exercises the other side of his creative mind. Music has been a lifelong passion and pursuit providing the perfect counterbalance to both the visual nature of design and all things 'daily grind'. He strives for rich tone and lyrical improvisations in his playing; letting it flow and trying not to overthink it. He is "profoundly at home with Miss K and the Hot notes".

Carl Tucker plays bass and joined the group in 2018.  Originally from Rochester NY, Carl played in a variety of musical genres playing jazz fusion, dixieland, and hosting a regular Sunday jazz jam session.  Later he performed with the Hochstein Music School big band orchestra led by noted jazz educator Dr Carl Atkins.   After moving to the Philadelphia area he played several years with the Len Miller Swing Band before taking a few years off to devote full time to family and traveling for his job in the medical imaging business.

With the desire to devote more time on his instrument, he joined a couple of groups in the area a few years ago, while sitting in on some monthly jazz jam sessions.  Now as a member of Miss K and the Hot Notes he enjoys the increased playing time while adding his own style to the many classic jazz standards in the bands' repertoire.
