George DeLancey, a bassist and composer from Cambridge, OH, has performed with artists such as Wynton Marsalis, Cécile McLorin Salvant, Russell Malone, and Bria Skonberg. A graduate of the Michigan State University Jazz Studies Program, he toured internationally with the Larry Fuller Trio and has released three acclaimed albums, including his 2016 debut, named to DownBeat’s Best Albums list. His commissioned work “Charles” premiered with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra in 2025. An active educator and bandleader, he also performs with the Springfield Symphony Jazz Orchestra and regularly appears at Caffè Vivace.
Saxophonist Jon Beshay is a versatile New York-based musician known for his work with Ron Carter, Christian McBride, and the WDR Big Band. A Detroit native, his style reflects that city’s hard bop roots. He has served as musical director for Winard and Philip Harper and was composer and music director for the off-Broadway production *A Loft Modulation*. Beshay leads his own group and plays regularly at NYC venues like Smalls, Birdland, and Jazz at Lincoln Center. He holds degrees from Michigan State and the Manhattan School of Music.
Tenor saxophonist Edwin Bayard channels the intensity and legacy of the bebop era with a fiery, virtuosic approach shaped by early studies at Berklee and Ohio State. A professional performer since the age of 16, he has played with notable artists such as Betty Carter, Gary Bartz, Talib Kweli, and Mark Lomax, among others. Known for his passionate delivery, Bayard strikes a balance between explosive energy and deep sensitivity on the bandstand.
Drummer James Gaiters has worked with a wide range of artists, including Mulgrew Miller, James Carter, JD Allen, and Pharez Whitted. A longtime fixture in the jazz world since his early days at Ohio State, Gaiters blends gospel roots with modern jazz fluency. His albums *Looking Back Ahead*, *Exodus*, and *Understanding Reimagined* reflect his vision as a bandleader and composer.
