Born in San Francisco, now based in Brooklyn, Gabriel Schillinger-Hyman showcases a catalogue of originals and arrangements of works by Bill Evans, Chick Corea, Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington and more, and honors the history of these master pianists with performances that are both soulful and hard-hitting. Gabriel can be found touring and/or performing in NYC with internationally renowned jazz artists including Christopher McBride, Lucas Pino, Sam Dillon, Tim Green, Erena Terakubo, Alexandra Ridout, Langston Hughes II, Tyreek McDole, and more at household jazz venues across the nation. He is grateful to have music take him across the world, as far as Norway and Iceland, and place him at distinguished spaces including CARNEGIE HALL (once as accompanist, once as arranger & performer), the French and Czech Consulates in NYC, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Cooper Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum in New York. Gabriel is also recognized for his multi-modal approaches to music education: He combines jazz performance and storytelling, touring multiple projects including "Invisible Jazz Giants" and "The Topography of Jazz: Revolutions in Sound Up, Down, and Around NYC" across the country, and has cultivated a large online community of learners who follow his Instagram for breakdowns of masterclasses by Barry Harris and other jazz legends. Gabriel received his Masters of Music at The Manhattan School of Music and a BA in Hispanic Literature & Cultures at Brown University.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, Michael Mitchell has been behind the drums since the age of 8.
