Recipe for Jerome: a good serving of Paul Lytton, a tablespoon of Elvin Jones, a cup of Krunk and a dash of Jean Baudrillard.
Jerome Bryerton's work involves the use of sounds and gestures derived from Eastern and Western percussionists. Particularly European percussionists Paul Lytton and Le Quan Ninh. With the fusion of American heavy-handedness- drummers Elvin Jones, Rashied Ali and Art Blakey!--------------------------------------------------------
Equally important is his incorporation of ideas/philosophies of visual artists Gerhard Richter, Richard Serra and Cy Twombly and Writer Jean Baudrillard. The reason being 'creative' music, more-so than traditional music, cannot reach it's full potential without a concentrated effort towards color and space. And also, a deep understanding of various structures/thoughts that come into being through living in this 'modern' world.-------------------------------------------------
Jerome has performed, played and recorded with the likes of Cecil Taylor, Wolfgang Fuchs, John Butcher, Frank Gratkowski, Peter Van Bergen, Jeb Bishop, Burton Greene, Alan Silva, Marco Eneidi and Henry Kaiser.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Hey Jer, I played phone tag with Danny Cottar. How's Chicago ? I got to go on a "one day tour" to play at The Whisky in Hollywood. It was fun ! Mmmmm burgers...
I wish I had that gig recorded, that storm blast was intense, arrived home to fallen trees and a flooded basement...at least the electricity didn't fail
yeah I had BLAST man! The pix are great. checkem out when you get a chance & you have my word that the picture will stay off the web. it is f'n hilarious though! haha, thanks for making it out
jeez, i meant "tag" in a completely different way. How gay does that make you when your mind goes straight to anal penetration? I think you're both fagasexuals for eating wieners together, frankly. ha! frankly!
