Milton Michaeli is an Israeli pianist known for his work with saxophonist Albert Beger, saxophonist David Bindman, and bassist Shay Hazan.

Israeli double bassist and composer Asaf Shchori is active in jazz and improvised music, bringing a strong, open-eared bass voice to ensembles that range from exploratory trio settings to charged free-jazz contexts. His recent work includes the 577 Records trio release Universal Butterfly with pianist Milton Michaeli and drummer Hamid Drake, where he is also credited as a composer, along with appearances in projects led by Albert Beger, Stephen Horenstein, and Eli Hasson.

"Hamid Drake (born August 3, 1955) is an American jazz drummer and percussionist. He lives in Chicago, IL but spends a great deal of time touring worldwide. By the close of the 1990s, Hamid Drake was widely regarded as one of the best percussionists in jazz and avant improvised music. Incorporating Afro-Cuban, Indian, and African percussion instruments and influence, in addition to using the standard trap set, Drake has collaborated extensively with top free-jazz improvisers. Drake also has performed world music; by the late 70s, he was a member of Foday Musa Suso's Mandingo Griot Society and has played reggae throughout his career.

Drake has worked with trumpeter Don Cherry, pianist Herbie Hancock, saxophonists Pharoah Sanders, Fred Anderson, Archie Shepp and David Murray and bassists Reggie Workman and William Parker (in a large number of lineups)

He studied drums extensively, including eastern and Caribbean styles. He frequently plays without sticks; using his hands to develop subtle commanding undertones. His tabla playing is notable for his subtlety and flair. Drake's questing nature and his interest in Caribbean percussion led to a deep involvement with reggae."
