• Bio

  Bio
  • "Glue Gun Optimism brings together a diverse bag of influences. Jazz Improvisation, Funk/Groove music, Indian Classical Music, Instrumental Prog-Rock and Heavy Metal are all drawn upon to create a patient, unified and beautifully expressive whole."

         

         A vehicle for saxophonist Ed RosenBerg's hard hitting metal jazz and ambient explorations, Glue Gun Optimism is a collective experiment in the combination of deep grooves and jazz improvisations. Featuring trombonist James Hirschfeld, keyboardist Justin Carroll, bassist Simon Jermyn, and drummer Alex Wyatt, the band is a combination of meditative drone based creations and slamming prog rock.
