Dwight Adams | trumpet - USA

The young, talented "Spirit of Detroit" blends the old with the new as he soars to high and serene ventures. Adams is one of the young players today who dares to go beyond borders to create an atmosphere where all seems possible Hammond's compositions give him new openings that he readily uses while never forgetting the blues. Professional experience with Arnett Cobb, David Newman, Barry Harris, Wynton Marsalis, James Carter, Kirk Lightsey, Earl Klugh and many others.

Awarded: The 1993 Detroit Metro Times "Best Horn".

Pablo Nahar | bass - SURINAM - AMSTERDAM

By far one of the most exciting bassists today, he interprets Hammond's music in a closeness and complement comparable to a Coltrane/Garrison relationship; a sensitive, melodic and flexible artist. Nahar's wide experience includes working with: Benny Bailey, David Murray, Jamaladeen Tacuma, Jan Akkerman, Ozay, Surinam Music Ensemble, Joe Malinga, etc.
