Drummer Chris Bowman's Manix is a Downtown NYC-rooted post-no wave free funk trio featuring guitarist John Bruschini and trumpeter John Mulkerin. Together their collaborators have included Wadada Leo Smith, Paul Bley, Annette Peacock, George Garzone, Cecil Taylor, William Parker, James Chance, Luther Thomas, Charles "Bobo" Shaw, Jamaladeen Tacuma, Butch Morris, and Makanda Ken McIntyre –– some of the deepest figures in modern creative music, and that depth will be carried through to Tubby's. Bowman is also a drum shop owner in New Paltz, and in 2023 provided "So, What Do You Think?" with a set of congas that were imbued with a lot of history and fire.

Joe Fiedler is a trombonist, composer, and arranger who has had a long career in both avant-garde jazz and Latin music circles, as well as being the musical director for Sesame Street since 2009. He has worked with, among others, Anthony Braxton, Maria Schneider, Andrew Hill, Sakoto Fujii, and Cecil Taylor, as well as extensively studied and arranged the music of trombonist and multiphonic pioneer Albert Mangelsdorff. Big Sackbut has, for a time, been a principal avenue for sonic exploration, a quartet comprising three trombones and one tuba. His trio for this occasion is a bit more traditional and includes guitarist Pete McCann (Dave Liebman, Lee Konitz, Maria Schneider) and drummer Michael Sarin (Dave Douglas, Myra Melford, Mario Pavone).
