Jair-Rohm (pronounced Jerome) Parker Wells invites listeners to think about the double bass – traditionally assigned a supporting role – as a main character.

Alone and with a pool of collaborators that includes saxophonist Daniel Carter, guitarists Eugene Chadbourne, Michael Gregory Jackson and Reeves Gabrels, composer/electronic musician Bob Ostertag, guitarist and producer Robert Musso, among others, his music blends deep bass, post-jazz improvisation, ambient soundscapes and cutting edge technology.

Here, he compiles an exclusive Wire mix of his influences, collaborators and own music.
