Simon Rose is best known in the field of free improvisation as leader
of the trio ‘badland’ together with Simon Fell on double bass and
Steve Noble on drums. He has also performed solo over the course of
the last five years. Influences are broad and as well as European and
American ideas relating to free improvisation (from those such as
Derek Bailey, Evan Parker, Peter Brotzmann, Han Bennink) he is also
interested in musical ideas on particularly wind and especially reed
instruments as used historically throughout the world and
particularly in Asia.
As well as a saxophonist Simon is a very experienced teacher and has
taught music and drama in different settings both full and part time.
Much of his teaching work has been with young people who have special
educational needs. He is currently doing an MA (Professional
Practice) concerned with performance and education.

Jerome Bryerton is an experimental percussionist and visual artist
from Chicago. He has recorded, toured or played with many of today's
most notable free improvisers: John Butcher, Wolfgang Fuchs, Peter
Van Bergen, Cecil Taylor, William Winant, Alan Silva, Torsten Muller,
Frank Gratkowski, Henry Kaiser and Vinny Golia. Jerome's goal is to
use his percussive materials to mirror practices of modern art,
philosophy and post-modern theory. The idea being—to develop and
express the improvisational elements that life itself presents.

Damon Smith's live and recorded efforts focus on continuing and
expanding the possibilities of the double bass and "instant
composition." His instrumental study focuses on classical technique
and etudes, while using jazz as reference for pizzicato tone. Damon
performs as a soloist and in every imaginable grouping all the way to
large orchestra.

Cost : $6-10 sliding scale
