Turner and Kurt RosenwinkelKurt Rosenwinkelカート・ローゼンウィンケル met at Berklee and became central figures in the NYC post-bop scene of the late 1990s. Rosenwinkel's complex harmony and Turner's dry, oblique lines fed each other. They appeared on each other's albums repeatedly, co-authoring the contemporary jazz guitar and saxophone vocabulary.

Marcus Gilmore's grandfather was himself a celebrated jazz drummer, but Gilmore made his own name in a very different setting: alongside the mathematically minded pianist Vijay Iyer on Historicity (2009) and Accelerando (2012), building a rhythmic language far removed from his grandfather's lineage.
