New Yorker Frank London, trumpeter with Lester Bowie, John Zorn, LL Cool J, Levon Helm, and the Grammy award winning Klezmatics, has been influential in the growth of new Jewish music, particularly in its spiritual aspects as on his Tzadik recordings Nigunim and Invocations.

“Nate [Wooley] has striven to blur the demarcations between tonality and texture, extreme sound and the protracted use of silence, nervous energy and an almost painful amount of patience. His trumpet playing is a obscene distillation of Booker Little, Leo Smith, Axel Dorner, and Bill Dixon. The scary part is how powerfully ‘Nate’ this distillation is. His solo shows have made me revisit all of my childhood fears while he has enough straight up jazz prowess to rival almost anybody in New York.” - Tabitha Brown, Vices Online

Japanese trumpeter and composer Natsuki Tamura “shrewdly creates a sound world that while completely his own also hints at the mythological and musical folklore of Asian and European cultures....a persona no less self-contained than that of early, wandering bluesmen like Robert Johnson or Charlie Patton.”

From Boston, the Rev. Dr. Mark Harvey is leader of the Aardvark Jazz Orchestra, Professor at MIT, an expert on Ellington and Thoreau, and an influence on countless musicians. His voice is of the rugged individualistic New England spiritual heritage.

She has toured the world as part of the Burning Brass, the sizzling all-woman horn section that backed reggae legend Burning Spear on a couple of classic albums. She’s also played with Natalie Merchant, Bonnie Raitt, Sarah McLachlan, Indigo Girls, Dennis Brown, Maxi Priest, NYC Reggae Collective, Rachelle Garniez, Metropolitan Klezmer and Isle of Klezbos.
