[1] Alongside Wienevski, D*Note consists of musical friends, including keyboard player Matt Cooper who records with Outside and Incognito, guitarist Keith Osbourne and others.
[citation needed] The sixth D*Note album, Laguna, featuring Beth Hirsch, was released in 2006 on New World Music.
Laguna featured cover versions of songs that figured as key parts of Winn and Hirsch’s musical influences, including "Wichita Lineman" by Jimmy Webb, "Guinnevere" by David Crosby, "Edith and The Kingpin" by Joni Mitchell, and "Being Alive" by Stephen Sondheim.
Classical influences include Maurice Ravel, whose polytonalities can be heard in D*Note's use of Lydian modes (what are known in the jazz world as “sharp elevens”).
Another key influence, who can be heard on "D*Votion" and "Deep Water" on the second album Criminal Justice, is the American minimalist composer Steve Reich.
