Julien Wilson: One of my favourite musicians on the planet is back for a brief visit. Melbourne drummer Will Guthrie, based in France for nearly 20 years now, is one of the greatest improvisors and fiercest individualists to ever emerge form the fertile Melbourne improv scene. Will has released a number of widely lauded solo drum albums and recorded and performed with artists including Anthony Pateras, Roscoe Mitchell, Mark Simmonds, Mike Patton and Oren Ombarchi.
Assumptions Trio played regularly at the Cape Lounge in the golden years of 2002-2004 and released two albums, 'assumptions2' and 'Departures'
They will be joined for this special event by bassist, surfer and organic beard-wearer Sam Anning for 2 sets of never to be repeated improvised mayhem.
