Paquito D'Rivera...Randy Brecker...Candido...salsa greats Larry Harlow, Gerardo Contino and Eddie Montalvo...David Amram...Antoinette Montague...Valerie Capers…the poets Felipe Luciano and Mariposa...and Bobby Sanabria and his multi-Grammy nominated 19 piece Multiverse Big Band were just some of the all-stat contributors.
