Pol Belardi

Born: April 24, 1989

From the moment Pol played his first note on an instrument, sometime in the 90’s in a small town in Luxembourg called Tétange, his curiosity was awakened to create music. After extensive tutelage at local schools in classical percussion, piano, drums and theory, a fair amount of classical orchestra as well as rock band experience and a good first imprint in the local scene, he set sails to study in Brussels and Amsterdam, earning a master’s degree “cum laude” in bass guitar in 2014. He has forged himself a strong credo consisting of two main ingredients: polyvalence and creativity. His numerous projects vary in both conception of style and the instrument(s) he plays, and since the first childhood composition try-outs (which were mainly transcribing and rearranging video-game music), he has grown to a prolific composer who is not afraid of taking advantage of his diverse musical background. Now back in Luxembourg, in the heart of Europe, Pol leads his own bands Force (a modern jazz quartet/quintet) and Urban Voyage, an 11-piece crossover mammoth project based in Amsterdam

Adrian Norton

Born: January 5, 1963

I began my musical journey by playing the trumpet in Elementary and Jr. High School. By the seventh grade I switched over to the Tuba, due to the fact that everyone else played the trumpet and there was a need for someone to play the Tuba. That is where I started and learned to love the foundation of the bass and how very important it was to music in general. I started playing the electric bass when I was 14 years old. I continued my musical journey at Suitland Sr. High School and at Prince Georges Community College. I am also one of the founding fathers of the popular 80’s Go-Go band Ayre Rayde

Andre Darius

Born: February 14, 1976

Self-taught musician, I occasionally compose, frequently improvise, constantly experiment. With my acoustic and electric basses, whether or not prepared, I question and explore the entire realm of possible in the search of the right note, that "note" of music able to unify time and space. Since 2011, both in groups and solo situations, I seek to express and capture the present moment without any pretence and artifice. Obviously, I fail, from time to time in this quest... But it doesn't matter, because even if it's less flattering and gratifying for the ego, I do prefer the naked truth to the vain beauty. biography at http://andredarius-biography.blogspot.fr/

“This is a natural state for me” says O’Brien, sitting in his kitchen, casually playing bass. “For me the road was always leading to music.” O’Brien started playing bass when he was 19. He grew up St. Paul, in a house filled with an eclectic collection of music. O’Brien’s father, an avant-garde leaning trumpet player, provided a varied foundation. “My dad was way off into free jazz, listening to Bill Dixon, Cecil Taylor, Kenny Wheeler, and of course Coltrane and Miles Davis, so there was that,” says O’Brien, ticking off influential jazz heavyweights as though they’re old pals
