Rosenblum brings this wealth and diversity of experiences to his projects as a leader, overseeing a full tour schedule as a solo artist, with his trio and most recently, with his six-piece ensemble, the Nebula Project. Since his first album as a leader, Instead (4 stars, Downbeat Magazine), he has since released three follow-up records to critical acclaim, including

favorable reviews in almost every major jazz publication (Downbeat, All About Jazz, Jazziz, JazzTimes, JazzEd, NYC Jazz Record, JazzLife Japan, and many more). Across multiple tours in Japan, Europe, Canada and the United States, Rosenblum has brought his bands to perform at some of the world’s most respected music venues, including Ravinia, Kuumbwa Jazz Center, the Library of Congress, AngraJazz (Terceira Island), Bird’s Eye (Basel) and Yokohama’s Himawari-No-Sato Concert Hall. At any given show, Rosenblum might draw on influences from ten or more countries, with interests going beyond jazz to include various music traditions from South America, Eastern Europe, Ireland, India, the Caribbean and the Middle East.

Daniel LaCour Duke is a critically acclaimed bassist and composer who is an active member of the New York City jazz scene. Daniel was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in 1989, the son of two classical pianists. When offered jobs at MacPhail Center for Music, his parents moved the family to St. Paul, Minnesota where Daniel began learning the violin as a child. Throughout his childhood, he was exposed to jazz, brass bands and Cajun music on frequent visits to his mother’s family in New Orleans. As a teenager he started playing bass, and by the time he turned 18, he was working regularly as a professional bassist with jazz, rock, and salsa bands in Minneapolis.

In 2012 Duke moved to New York after attending William Paterson University under the direction of Mulgrew MIller. He began working full time as an acoustic bassist, initially supplementing his income by playing on the West 4th Street subway platform and in Washington Square Park. He made many connections in the New York City jazz scene, and after a year he was performing almost nightly at restaurants, bars, and jazz clubs.    

Duke currently lives in the Bronx and appears at Birdland, the Blue Note, Dizzy’s, Smoke Jazz Club, and West Village mainstays Small’s and Mezzrow, accompanying renowned New York musicians like Michael Kanan, Sacha Perry, Chris Byars, Zaid Nasser, and Chris Flory. He plays at theaters and jazz listening rooms across the United States and internationally, accompanying high level acts like Jane Monheit, Isaac Mizrahi and the Anderson brothers. Duke has also contributed as a bassist and composer on numerous albums, including saxophonist Nicole Glover's critically acclaimed album Strange Lands (Savant 2021), which featured his song "Hive Queen." Most recently, he played on saxophonist Jon de Lucia's The Brubeck Octet Project (Musaeum Clausum 2024), featuring legendary multi-instrumentalist Scott Robinson on tenor saxophone. 

Beginning his musical journey on drum set at age 5, he later picked up trumpet and steel drums. These early voices ultimately shaped his expression on the drums, drawing from the musical traditions of American jazz, West and Central African, Brazilian, Caribbean, and European classical music. In 2018, Zweig traveled to southeast Cameroon to work with Global Music Exchange and learn from master musicians of the Baka Gbiné pygmies. Then in 2021, a pilgrimage to learn from Brazilian percussionists across the country’s coast furthered his diasporic exploration. Following a first trip in 2024, he is now working with musicians across Morocco to produce future collaborations. His fascination with rhythmic dance music from around the world led to the formation of the drum featured band, big beet. Grammy winning producer Don Sickler commented, “[Zweig] is able to combine history with the current musical environment, making it sound fresh.”
