Bruce Hornsby's work displays a creative iconoclasm that's been a constant in the artist's two-and-a-half decade recording career. His commercial stock soared early on, when "The Way It Is" - the title track of his 1986 debut album - became one of the most popular songs on American radio. Despite his early mainstream successes, Hornsby has pursued a more personal, idiosyncratic musical path, focusing on projects that sparked his creative interest, including collaborations with the Grateful Dead, Spike Lee, Ricky Skaggs, Don Henley, Ornette Coleman, Bob Dylan, Béla Fleck, Bonnie Raitt and Robbie Robertson.

Bassist, composer and educator Christian McBride has performed with Sonny Rollins, McCoy Tyner, Pat Metheny and Milt Jackson, among many others. In the worlds of R&B, pop-rock, classical music and hip-hop, he also arranged or worked with James Brown, Sting, Carly Simon, Queen Latifah, Kathleen Battle and the Shanghai Quartet. McBride is the composer of The Movement, Revisited suite dedicated to civil rights leaders. His newest release, with the group Inside Straight, is People Music.
