Jazz musician Simon Jermyn, originally from Ireland, is an electric bassist / guitarist and composer living in NYC. His debut album “Trot A Mouse” featured Chris Speed and Loren Stillman. He has since appeared on a number of albums, including guitarists Ryan Blotnick’s record “Everything Forgets”. Amongst others he has performed with Bill McHenry, Ben Monder, Jim Black, Oscar Noriega, the Smith Quartet and Jeff Williams.
French Saxophonist and clarinettist Robin Fincker co-leads Outhouse, which has become one of the leading groups of the young London-based contemporary jazz scene. He has been involved with “post-free-jazz” improvisers, investigating the possibilities of the laptop and real time processing in composition and improvisation.
Sean Carpio is one of Ireland’s leading drummers. He has performed with, among others, Mark Turner, Dave Binney, Bill McHenry, Nils Wogram and Dave Douglas. He also composes for his own group WoWos and works extensively with visual artists, including Mark Garry.
Downtown Music Gallery’s Bruce Lee Gallanter said of Simon’s solo album “Hymni”: by far the best solo electric bass effort I’ve heard since Hugh Hopper’s classic solo album ‘1984’ from 1973”.
