SPECIAL GUEST - JAIR-RHOM PARKER WELLS
Jair-Rhom Parker Wells is an American bassist, composer, and sound artist renowned for his experimental and multi-genre approach to music. Born on 13 October 1958, his career spans over five decades, during which he has become a pioneer in the use of live electronics and digital processing with the electric upright bass, a method he often refers to as "Loopadelica".
Wells' music bridges the worlds of jazz, free improvisation, avant-garde, and electro-acoustic composition. He is a founding member of the improvising band Machine Gun and has been a frequent collaborator with avant-garde luminaries such as Reeves Gabrels (The Cure), Jonathan Kane (Swans), and Elliott Sharp.
Joined by Daniel Crosby on drums, who’s the son of British jazz hero Gary Crosby and Williams Cumberbatch
