Bleeding Vector is a duo of SF Bay area improvisors who play around with various rhythmic and harmonic structures as the underpinnings for their improvisations. Most of these structures are either tunes from the jazz idiom, or mutations of these tunes. Well, but then they also try to do more extended things and such.
Simon is an alto saxophonist working in the area of free improvisation. He performs in settings from solo to large groups. During the mid 90’s he established Club Orange with tenor saxophonist John Grieve. A fortnightly, then weekly club for free jazz and improvised music in north London. It quickly became a venue where just about everyone from the improvised music scene in the UK as well as some from Europe and North America could be heard. The trio ‘badland’ Simon Rose alto sax, Simon Fell double bass and Steve Noble drums (initially Mark Sanders), have toured extensively, had three albums released and a number of radio sessions including one for BBC Jazz on 3. 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.
