Through the Delbert Anderson Quartet, he fuses Indigenous tradition with contemporary sound, inspired by Navajo history and landscapes.His projects, including The Long Walk: 1,674 Days and Manitou, highlight Native resilience. Anderson also leads the Build A Band program, teaching jazz improvisation through Diné culture. His work has been recognized by Chamber Music America, the First Peoples Fund, and South Arts, and featured by The New York Times, JazzTimes, and NPR.

Robert Muller is a Santa Fe–based pianist and keyboardist whose career spans from local clubs to international festivals. A Portland native, he studied under Blue Note legend Andrew Hill before performing in New York City at venues like the Blue Note and Knitting Factory with jazz, neo-soul, and hip-hop artists. In New Mexico, he performs with Hillary Smith, Joy Harjo, Delbert Anderson, and Ryan Montaño. His group, the Kodama Trio, earned New Mexico Music Awards for Best Jazz Album and Best Jazz Single for their 2016 debut.

Khalill Brown, with roots in the Blackfoot and Cherokee tribes, is a dynamic Funk/Fusion drummer based in Denver, known for his technical prowess and ability to weave rhythms from various cultures and styles. His musical journey began at the tender age of eight, opening for Ziggy Marley. He has seen him share stages with renowned acts like Steel Pulse, KRS-One, Snarky Puppy, and Stephen Marley despite overcoming a career-threatening wrist injury. Raised in a family steeped in Reggae and Rasta culture, and with extensive experience in drumline and backing bands across Hip-Hop, Jazz, Funk, and Country genres, Khalill’s style is a vibrant testament to his diverse upbringing.

Since then, he has developed into a seasoned bassist with a repertoire spanning jazz, country, Latin, funk, classical, and rock/pop genres. His formal education culminated in a B.A. in Music in 2008, followed by invaluable experiences at Victor Wooten’s Center for Music and Nature. This background enabled him to share stages with luminaries like Tito Puente Jr., Bob Dorough, and The Drifters.
