Jean-Marc Foussat est né en 1955 à Oran.
C'est tout d'abord avec la guitare, au milieu des années 70 qu'il créait plusieurs groupes aussi expérimentaux qu'éphémères pour peu à peu lui préférer le synthétiseur & le papier réglé, prenant autant de plaisir à trafiquer la bande magnétique, en solitaire. Fin 1979, il travaille en studio, à la suite de quoi, il choisit d'enregistrer la musique improvisée en concert et collabore avec de nombreux labels. En 1981, il termine "Abattage", son premier disque solo qui sera finalement édité en Mars 1983. Dix ans plus tard, grâce au groupe Marteau Rouge, il reprend le chemin de la scène et du public avec son synthétiseur analogique en compagnie de Makoto Sato à la batterie et de Jean-François Pauvros à la guitare électrique. En 2005, il fait la connaissance de Sylvain Guérineau, saxophoniste, avec qui nait Aliquid, ce qui petit à petit, va l'entrainer à jouer de plus en plus régulièrement avec de nombreux acteurs des musiques improvisées…

Sylvain Guérineau est né en 1946 à Vendôme.
Le Paris de l'après 68, de la rue aux usines, avec François Tusques et toute la scène free française et américaine : Avenel, Jenny-Clark, Delcloo, et tant d'autres… Un certain Passage d'Eric Dolphy — quelques-uns s'en souviennent — dans une certaine Chapelle de la rue des Lombards, en compagnie de Jacques Réda et Francis Marmande. Et puis Desmond, Ornette vécu en direct — La Mutualité, novembre 1965, la polémique existait : idem Coltrane & Ayler … On a pu l'entendre en duo, trio et quartet avec Sunny Murray, Bernard Lubat et Francis Marmande, ou encore en quartet avec Jacques et Nicolas Mahieux ainsi qu'Olivier Benoit. On peut aussi l'entendre sur disque avec Francis Marmande et Sunny Murray dans l'atelier d'Alain Kirili, avec Joëlle Léandre dans "La cantate des chaudrons"... Il fréquente différentes scènes : Banlieues Bleues, Uzeste, Musée de Grenoble en duo avec Sunny Murray autour des sculptures de Kirili, etc. À partir de 2002, il joue avec Didier Lasserre, Paul Rogers, Henry Grimes, Benjamin Duboc, Jobic Le Masson, Arnaud Sacase, Jean-Marc Foussat, Itaru Oki, Joel Grip, etc…

Andy Sugg spent the early eighties studying and at times performing the classical repertoire with Peter. He also began a decade-long partnership with jazz pianist, Andy Vance, which produced much original music and several albums. Through this partnership Andy developed a national profile, appeared at major festivals, on radio and television, and had his music used in hit TV dramas. Meanwhile, his apprenticeship continued in New York with Dave Liebman, George Coleman and Bill Evans.
In the nineties Andy emerged as a bandleader fronting a series of acoustic and electric projects. Of these, The Andy Sugg Group has been the mainstay. It has produced several albums, the most recent being The Berlin Session, recorded in Germany in 2011. This album is an acoustic fusion setting, strongly influenced by the avant-garde. The aesthetic of the jazz avant-garde is explored further in The Kris Wanders/Andy Sugg Unit. As a member of Alexander von Schlippenbach's seminal group, The Globe Unity Orchestra, Kris has been an important part of the European avant-garde. In Australia Andy and Kris have formed the engine room of concert events such as the recreation of Coltrane's Ascension session and the iconic A Love Supreme. The Unit has recorded On The Edges of Silence and most recently The Unit: Live at 3PBS.
Another of Andy's on-going projects is the contemporary bop group, TTTenor, which features hard-blowing post-Coltrane solo and collective improvisation. The group's first album includes tenorists Jamie Oehlers and Julien Wilson, with a rhythm section of Paul Grabowsky, Gary Costello and Andrew Gander.
In addition to performing and composing, Andy has always been active in music education. His PhD on the music of John Coltrane, Jerry Bergonzi and David Liebman, Tracking the Trane, is the first musicological study of its kind in Australia and has been praised by its adjudicators, who include the world's foremost Coltrane scholar, Lewis Porter.

Kate Kelsey-Sugg began singing and playing the piano at the age of four. A few years later she picked up the saxophone and so began her music career as a multi-instrumentalist. For Kate, music was in the genes – growing up with her father, jazz saxophonist Andy Sugg. Kate made her debut performance on the piano at Dizzy's jazz club in Melbourne at age nine.She has continued to perform regularly both as a bandleader and sideman ever since.
In 2010, Kate had a busy year, first receiving the Marion Isobel Thomas Award on piano and winning first prize in the prestigious James Morrison Vocal Scholarship. Kate was also chosen to showcase Australian jazz at the World Expo in Shanghai, China. Kate performed at the Myer Music Bowl with Joss Stone, Mavis Staples, Rickie Lee Jones, Archie Roach, Paul Dempsey and the Black Arm Band as part of the 2011 Melbourne Festival. During this year Kate also travelled to Berlin, where she recorded The Berlin Session, to critical acclaim. Upon receiving a scholarship from the Ian Potter Cultural Trust, Kate travelled to New York City in early 2012, where she studied under world-renowned jazz pianist Jason Moran and jazz vocalist Kurt Elling. Kate also performed her original music at the iconic Rockwood Music Hall.
Later this year, Kate won second prize at the esteemed National Jazz Awards for voice at the Wangaratta Jazz Festival. Kate has performed at the International Women in Jazz Festival, Melbourne International Jazz Festival, Wangaratta Jazz Festival, Stonnington Jazz Festival and the Sydney Opera House. Kate also plays regularly at Bennetts Lane jazz club.
