- FAHIR ATAKOGLU,
a native of Turkey, born in Istanbul, is an international
award winning composer and pianist, in the fields of large
symphonic works and film music. His works have been
performed in various music festivals in Europe and across
North America to much acclaim, as well as in Europe and
Japan. His sensitivity as a composer deeply moves the
audience by his unique rythmic, melodic and harmonic
sense. His music reflects his extraordinary talent in
blending different musical cultures which make his
compositions speak with striking originality, and always
wonderfully connected to the culture of his motherland.
Following his first album in 1994 he released 8 albums in
17 countries including USA and sold over nearly 2 million
copies since.

- HORACIO 'EL
NEGRO' HERNANDEZ, born in Havana, Cuba, is said to
be the most talented and innovative percussionist in the
world, even before being awarded a Grammy in 1997 for the
album "Supernatural" from Carlos Santana.
Whether performing with jazz-legends like McCoy Tyner or
Michel Camilo, rock-stars like Carlos Santana and Stevie
Winwood or in notable Latin American ensembles like the
Trop-Jazz All Stars of the late Tito Puente, 'El Negro'
has also shown himself to be one of the most forceful and
versatile musicians in the international music scene
today.

- ANTHONY JACKSON,
began to perform locally in 1966 and played on his first
recording session in 1970. Two years later, he joined
Billy Paul's band, receiving his first gold record for the
hit "Me and Mrs. Jones". In 1973, he earned an
immediate reputation for his unforgettable bass line on
the O'Jays' hit "For the Love of Money". He
worked on projects with Roberta Flack, Lee Ritenour, Dave
Grusin, Tom Scott, and others. After 1978 he reached new
technical and creative levels, resulting in some of the
finest contemporary bass playing ever recorded, with such
diverse artists as Chaka Khan, Steely Dan, Al Di Meola,
Paul Simon, Eyewitness, and Michael Camilo.
