What We Live is a project consisting of saxophonist
Larry Ochs (of
ROVA), bassist
Lisle Ellis, and drummer
Donald Robinson, all of whom played together in the Glenn Spearman Double Trio. Formed in the San Francisco Bay area in the mid-'90s, the group improvises and performs compositions by
Ochs and
Ellis. The group has performed at several festivals, including Vancouver's DuMaurier Jazz Festival, toured Europe, and recorded a few interesting albums for the Black Saint and New World labels. ~ Joslyn Layne
