- Laurence Hobgood — music director and keyboardist
- Catherine Bent — cellist
- John Lockwood — bassist
- Stan Strickland — saxophonist, flutist and vocalist
- Mino Cinélu — special guest percussionist who performed and toured with Miles Davis, Sting, Weather Report, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and more
