Based in the Bay Area, saxophonist Larry Ochs is primarily found in the worlds of “avant-garde jazz” or “improvised music,” composing music for bands such as Rova Saxophone Quartet (for more than 40 years) and Fictive Five. He is a member of all-improv bands with musicians such as Nels Cline, Gerald Cleaver, Fred Frith, Mark Dresser, Vladimir Tarasov and Miya Masaoka.

Don Robinson is a technical master of the drums.
