With a career spanning over four decades and 21 albums of original material, Antonio has earned a reputation as the "Jimi Hendrix of the acoustic guitar" for his ability to seamlessly blend jazz, Spanish, African, Brazilian, and improvised music. He has performed with some of the biggest names in music, including Charlie Haden, Angelique Kidjo, Trilok Gurtu, Larry Coryell, Diego el Cigala, and many more.

Jenny Adejayan, the quartet's cellist, was born to a Nigerian father and Grenadian mother in East London. She has recorded Five albums and a live DVD with Antonio and has been a part of the quartet since its formation.
