He has made over 50 recordings as a leader for labels such as Soul Note, Sony, JMT, ECM and Intakt records. Gregg Belisle-Chi is an Asian-American guitarist and composer living in Brooklyn, New York. Described by the New York Times as “a subtle stunner,” his work draws from the spaces between the spiritual and the analytical, the ethereal and the tactile, inviting listeners to a place of pause and reflection; music that “oozes beauty both in concept and execution, making us luxuriate in its immersive sonorities.” (Part-Time Audiophile) Their debut duet Album Mars is out on INTAKT Records Gordon Grdina – Guitar, Oud Gordon Grdina is a JUNO Award (Canadian Grammy) winning oud/guitarist whose music spurs constant genre exploration throughout avant-garde jazz, free form improvisation, experimental rock, and Arabic music. His singular approach to the instruments has earned him recognition from the highest ranks of the jazz/improv world. Saloli Mary Sutton performs as Saloli and composes music for keyboard instruments. She aims to create sonic landscapes that entrance and enthrall the listener into sweetly vulnerable introspection. Saloli's debut album of synthesizer compositions, The Deep End , was released through Kranky in 2018. Her next album, The Island: Music for Piano Vol. I, was self-released as a limited edition cassette December 21, 2021 and is available now.
