TAL YAHALOM is an award-winning guitarist, composer and educator based in Brooklyn, New York since 2014. Described as “among the most uniquely gifted guitarists on the NYC improv scene” (NYC Jazz Record) and “one of the most impressive jazz players of his generation” (Bill Kirchner), he is committed to creating engaging storytelling, thoughtful interplay, and unique sonic environments that go beyond the traditional functions of the guitar.
Tom Oren is an Israeli pianist, composer, and bandleader based in New York.
In 2018, he won the prestigious Thelonious Monk (now Herbie Hancock) International Jazz Piano Competition, earning international recognition. He is currently touring with Terence Blanchard as a member of Blanchard’s celebrated E-Collective, and as part of the Miles Davis & John Coltrane Centennial project, a collaboration between Blanchard and Ravi Coltrane celebrating the enduring legacies of two of jazz’s most influential figures.
WAYNE TUCKER is a New York-based trumpeter, vocalist, composer, and bandleader whose work blends jazz, soul, gospel, funk, R&B, and singer-songwriter traditions. He has performed and recorded with artists including Taylor Swift, Jay-Z, the Roots, Elvis Costello, and Kurt Elling while leading his own group, Wayne Tucker and The Bad Mothas. His albums — including When I Was a Child, Wake Up and See the Sun, and Encouragement — combine groove-driven songwriting, improvisation, and deeply personal storytelling. “I think my music is 100% vulnerable,” Tucker says. “I’m unafraid to express that true uniqueness.”
