• Brian Blade: drums;
• Melvin Butler: tenor saxophone;
• Jon Cowherd: piano, harmonium;
• Kurt Rosenwinkel: guitar;
• Chris Thomas: contrabass;
• Myron Walden: alto saxophone, bass clarinet;

These guys know how to blaze! Most of the time the music is pretty quiet and introspective, but every now and then they build things up to truly ecstatic heights. Given that the band is a fellowship, I think that what they're up to could be properly described as testifyin'! I dig it! Don't miss 'em!

Big thanks to Ting for the photo gallery!

Whoa! This section is incomplete for now, sorry!
