Matt Ray is an Obie Award-winning theater-maker, composer, pianist, singer, songwriter, arranger, and music director.

His arrangements have been called “wizardly” (Time Out NY) and “ingenious” (NY Times), and his piano playing referred to as “classic, well-oiled swing” (NY Times) and “to cry for” (Ebony). For his work on Taylor Mac’s show A 24-Decade History of Popular Music he and Mac shared the 2017 Kennedy Prize for Drama Inspired By American History. He and Mac’s jazz-based theater piece The Hang opened to rave reviews in January of 2022 and won Matt a 2023 Obie Award for Music Direction and Composition.

ARI FOLMAN-COHEN – Bass

An electric and upright bassist, Ari performs in New York City and around the world. Equally at ease in many different musical milieus, Ari tends towards experimental projects as well as many jazz and world music collaborations.

Ari is an eclectic and open minded musician and his repertoire and stylistic approach fuse the varied experiences he finds himself in. As bass player for Grammy award winning guitarist Stephane Wrembel he holds down exciting and sturdy gypsy jazz bass lines. In avante punk mambo group Gato Loco he thrashes melodically on the electric bass. When playing with his ska and rocksteady project Pangari and The Socialites he supplies the melodic foundations. In addition he has performed with theatre visionary Taylor Mac, piano virtuoso Jean-Michel Pilc, gospel phenoms Harlem Gospel Choir and shared the stage one bizarre new years eve with Jimmy Buffet.
