South African harpist Jacqueline Kerrod has performed with everyone from Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and NEA Jazz Master Anthony Braxton to Rufus Wainwright and Jane Birkin. She has premiered more than a dozen works written for her by South African composers. In her solo music, Kerrod has made innovative use of electronics. Her CD with cornetist Taylor Ho Bynum, Simple Ways Such Self, documents their 2023 performance as part of FEMA’s IF: Improvisers Forum series, presented at the Frederick YMCA Arts Center.

Joe Morris is one of the more innovative guitarists to emerge in the past 40 years, integrating African, Asian, and Eastern European influences into a singular vocabulary. Appearing on nearly 200 recordings playing guitar or double bass, Morris has been on the faculty of the New England Conservatory of Music since 2000. He is the author of Perpetual Frontier: The Properties of Free Music, published in 2012.
