ADAM KOLKER worked with Ray Barretto for eight years. He also appears in New York City with the Village Vanguard Orchestra, Fred Hersch’s “My Coma Dreams,” the Maria Schneider Orchestra, Bruce Barth, Judi Silvano and Lucia Pulido. For many years, his own group included John Abercombie and Billy Hart.
Guitarist STEVE CARDENAS began his musical career in Kansas City and has been an integral part of the New York City jazz community since 1995. He was a longstanding member of the Paul Motian Electric Bebop Band, Charlie Haden Liberation Music Orchestra, the Steve Swallow Quintet, as well as Joey Baron’s, Killer Joey. Steve is currently a member of the Ben Allison Band, John Patitucci Electric Guitar Quartet, Jon Cowherd Mercy Project, Adam Nussbaum Lead Belly Project and has also performed with such diverse artists as Claude “Fiddler” Williams, Paul McCandless, Madeleine Peyroux, Norah Jones, Eliane Elias and Marc Johnson.
The New Yorker says of BILLY MINTZ: “All too many drummers pound and roar, but a rare few can make their instruments purr and sing. Mintz, who has found a niche navigating between avant-garde channels and more conventional ones, is a careful yet adventurous stylist who recalls the late Paul Motian in his sensitivity and musicality.”
