POLE is a three piece group originating from the unknowns of West Virginia but since scattering systematically outward one member at a time. Our music is a blending of world ensemble concepts, structural experiments, solid precise chops, and nested rhythm loops. We have no gig, plans, cd or cult following as of yet, but we enjoy the creative process itself and continue to enlarge our collection of original recorded work at a pace that mundane constraints allow.
