Onaje Allan Gumbs:
Pianist, composer, arranger, producer and NAACP Image Award Nominee, Onaje Allan Gumbs is one of the industry's most respected and talented musical collaborators. He has worked for more than 30 years with an illustrious list of jazz, R&B and pop artists. In 1974, he created a special arrangement of "Stella By Starlight" for the New York Jazz Repertory Company as part of a concert honoring Miles Davis at Carnegie Hall. He followed that with performances on albums by such artists as Woody Shaw (Moontrane), Buster Williams (Pinnacle), Cecil McBee (Mutima) and Betty Carter (Betty Carter). In 1975, Onaje joined forces with trumpeter Nat Adderley and his quintet, contributing to the group's releases on Atlantic and Steeplechase Records. Onaje continues to be one of Jazz's Great piano players.
