Bassist Michael Feinberg “A musical prodigy turned evil genius” (spinner) has become an in-demand side man and sought after leader through his 10+ years on the NYC scene. He has appeared with iconic artists like Jon Batiste, Dave Liebman, Jeff Tain Watts, Knower, Jeff Coffin, Ambrose Akinmusire, and Billy Hart to name a few. His new group features some of the most creative and in demand players today. Pianist Aaron Parks is one of the brightest voices of his generation and has worked with Terrence Blanchard, Kurt Rosenwinkel, and his collaborative group James Farm with Joshua Redman, Matt Penman, and Eric Harland.

Drummer Nasheet Waits is a long time member of legendary bands like Christian McBride’s New Jawn and Jason Morgan’s bandwagon. He has also appeared alongside Fred Hersch, Joe Lovano, and Andrew Hill to name a few.
