Edmund Welles September 30, 2007

The world's only composing group of four bass clarinetists, Edmund Welles are purveyors of heavy chamber music -- combining equal parts from jazz, classical and rock, guided by the deep sonority and expressive range of the bass clarinet. Gutbucket plays "juke-joint punk jazz" The group's stage antics encourage audience participation. Flitting from Latin to polka to klezmer to jazz, often within the space of a few bars, Gutbucket attacks its music with a ferocity usually reserved for punk rock.
