The European trio of Kaufmann/Gratkowski/DeJoode initiated their union at Zaal 100, Amsterdam¹s famed underground improvised music centre. The Tranzac serves as an equally respected facility for creative music in Toronto. The band has released two CDs, "kwast" (Konnex) and "unearth" (Nuscope). Their third, entitled "palaë", was released by Leo Records in October, 2007.
Pianist/composer Achim Kaufmann is based in Amsterdam, and has played and/or recorded with musicians such as Han Bennink, Michael Moore, Jim Black, Mark Helias, Tristan Honsinger, Lê Quan Ninh, Wolter Wierbos, Paul Lovens, and Joost Buis' Astronotes. Kaufmann previously released 'kamosc' (Red Toucan) with Michael Moore (clarinet, alto saxophone) and Dylan Van der Schyff (drums). He also performs solo.
Composer/multi-reedist Frank Gratkowski leads a quartet with Wolter Wierbos, Dieter Manderscheid, and Gerry Hemingway. He recently performed at various festivals with his Double Quartet and has worked with Georg Graewe, Joëlle Léandre, Hamid Drake, Peter Kowald, Misha Mengelberg, Michiel Braam, and many more. Both Gratkowski and Kaufmann have received the renowned German SWR award.
Wilbert de Joode, the veritable research scientist of bass pizzicato and bowing techniques, is a self-taught musician, and currently one of the most sought-after bassists in the world of contemporary jazz and improvised music. He is a member of the Ab Baars Trio, the trio Fuhler/Bennink/DeJoode, Apa Ini, and various groups led by Michiel Braam. He has played with Steve Lacy, Fred Frith, Derek Bailey, Peter Brötzmann, Sunny Murray, The Ex, and the Schlippenbach Trio, and completed a solo North American tour earlier this year, which included an AIMToronto Interface session.

Wodwos is a local quartet whose music combines the controlled focus of composed forms with the raw spontaneity of free improvisation. Utilizing limitations suggested through composition, the band members seek to push past their own habitual musical tendencies and individual syntaxes. Since its formation Wodwos has performed original compositions, free improvisations, and music by Webern. They have performed in diverse settings from bars and lofts to a below-ground plaza, a giant tent on the shore of Lake Ontario, and under a Parkdale bridge. Wodwos are planning to record and release their first record in the early months of 2008.
