Under the direction of Jessika “Jessie” Smith, the group features Kerry Politzer on piano/keys, Leah Hinchcliff on bass, Rivkah Ross on drums; Mieke Bruggeman‑Smith, Chelsea Luker, Michelle Medler, and Mary‑Sue Tobin on saxophones/woodwinds; trombonists Jenny Kellogg and Shayna Waldman; and trumpeters Aliyah Jackson and Amanda Marquis.--
