Jean-Luc Guionnet, alto saxophone Clayton Thomas, double bass, concept Will Guthrie, drums. The members of THE AMES ROOM engage in a variety of musical activities, including free improvisation, electroacoustic composition and jazz, but all share a passion to free jazz at its most explosive and brutal heights. It’s somewhere in between Roscoe Mitchell’s Noonah and Last Exit’s tribal adventures. Henry Threadgill’s tapestries of sound are the backdrop. Between them the three members have worked/work with the likes of Peter Brotzmann, Tobias Delius, Jim Denley, Robin Fox, Chris Abrahams, Axel Dorner, Johannes Bauer, Paul Lovens, Peter Jacquemyn, Burkhard Beins, Keith Rowe, Jerome Noetinger, Thomas Ankersmit, Andy Moor, Tony Buck, Eric La Casa, Eric Cordier , Edward Perraud, Philipp Samartzis , Marc Baron … from http://theamesroom.wordpress.com
