Active since the mid-1970s, guitarist/composer Dennis Rea has led or contributed to Moraine, Iron Kim Style, Land, Savant, Flame Tree, Earthstar, Stackpole, and sundry other collaborative projects. He's been graced to partner with such sonic trailblazers Hector Zazou, Stuart Dempster, Cui Jian, Albert Kuvezin (Yat Kha), Klaus Schulze, Steve Fisk, Jeff Greinke, Nik Turner, Michael Moorcock, Han Bennink, and members of King Crimson,  Hawkwind, R.E.M., Soundgarden, Ministry, Santana, the Sun Ra Arkestra, and Heilung. He has played widely in the U.S. and in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Russia, Germany, the UK, Mexico, and Bosnia and has opened for the likes of Soft Machine, Tony Levin, Fred Frith, Bill Frisell, Percy Jones, and Sting. He appears on more than 60 releases on MoonJune Records, his own Nunatak imprint, and other labels. 

Keyboardist/composer Jon Alberts has enjoyed a diverse musical career of performing and recording. Following a stint at Berklee College of Music, he toured venues from Europe to Alaska. After settling in Seattle, he has performed and recorded with many of the region's stalwart jazz musicians, including Jeff Johnson, Hans Teuber, and D'Vonne Lewis. Jon currently collaborates with progressive artists Dennis Rea (Moraine) and Igor Abuladze (Nosretep).

James DeJoie hails from Seattle and revels in bringing together diverse musical genres in distinctive combinations. Through his use of electronics and world-influenced rhythms, James writes and performs music that broadens the scope of what may be defined as “jazz.” He is equally fluent on baritone and alto saxophones, clarinet, bass clarinet, flute, and percussion. In addition to playing in and composing for his wide-ranging musical groups, James is also a regular contributor to such top-flight Seattle based ensembles as Wayne Horvitz and Robin Holcomb’s Washington Composers Orchestra, Tom Varner’s Nonet, and the world-renowned Jim Knapp Orchestra. James has toured parts of Siberia and most of the US performing with groups such as Moraine, Jeremy Enigk, The Benny Goodman Orchestra run by Peanuts Hucko and the rock group Cheap Trick, to name but a very few.  He is also active performing classical music and was the featured soloist in a Baritone Saxophone Concerto written for him by composer David Gaines, which he recorded with the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra in Bratislava in 2008.
