The ensemble has performed in various combinations in NYC at St Mark's Church, Somethin' Jazz Club, The Gershwin Hotel, Firehouse Space, Silvana and Pianos. Jeff Newell: Flute; Diana Wayburn: Flute, Piano, Composition; Spencer Hale: Banjo, Electric Bass, Composition; and Kaveh Haghtalab: Percussion perform works by Diana Wayburn.
