Peter Evans is one of today's most innovative contemporary trumpeters. His cross-genre, highly virtuosic and distinctive playing has earned him critical acclaim and enthusiastic fans worldwide. In 2017 he founded Being & Becoming and since then the group has evolved into Evans' primary band and compositional outlet. It combines both an enormous range of influences and the incredible stylistic diversity of the band members. After two successful albums and several tours, Being & Becoming has distinguished itself with an innovative repertoire synthesizing electronic music, compositions incorporating grooves, intricate orchestration, open improvisation and a telepathic sense of group communication. The band has recorded recently at the legendary Rudy Van Gelder studio, for a release forthcoming in 2025.

He conducts and composes for several different ensembles and continues to work in a variety of new formations, exploring through-composed music, group improvisation, arranging and electronic music. Of particular note is his work with the band Mostly Other People do the Killing, Rapper Kanye West, Mary Halvorson, Peter Brötzmann and German shooting stars Wanja Slavin and Christian Lillinger. Evans has presented and/or performed his works at major festivals worldwide and was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in Music Composition in 2022.

Joel Ross is probably the most exciting young vibraphonist in the jazz world. Born in 1995, the US-American was encouraged at a young age by jazz greats such as Herbie Hancock, Robert Glasper and his mentor Stefon Harris and quickly made a name for himself. Shortly after graduating, he joined Marquis Hill's band, which was the starting point for his rise to the top of the scene. He worked with Walter Smith III, Gil Scott-Heron, Ulysses Owens and contemporaries such as Immanuel Wilkins, recorded several records as a leader for Blue Note and was repeatedly named best vibraphonist by the legendary Down Beat Magazine.

Bassist, multi-instrumentalist, producer, DJ and composer Nick Jozwiak is based in New York City. Jozwiak has cultivated a bass practice that defies convention, combining classical technique with an improvisational style that ranges from the most traditional jazz idiom to the rarest textures of modern music. He has performed with Dave Liebman, Tyshawn Sorey, George Garzone, Aaron Burnett, Ravi Coltrane, Social Assassins, the electronic music group Metadance and many others.

Michael Shekwoaga Ode is a Nigerian-American drummer and composer. Growing up in Durham, Ode came into contact with gospel music at an early age in church and was given a drum kit at the age of four. Since then, music has never let him go. Ode studied with drumming legend Billy Hart at the Oberlin Conservatory. He has played alongside Van Morrison, Wallace Roney, Theo Croker, Les McCann, Gary Bartz, John Clayton, Peter Bernstein, Eddie Daniels, Sullivan Fortner, JD Allen and Gerald Clayton.
