A wide-ranging band drawing from prog rock, jazz, modern composition, world fusion, and creative improvisation, Ut Gret ("Ut" signifying the lowest note on the medieval music organ and "Gret" an apparent reference to 12th century Barbarian invaders) were formed by multi-instrumentalist Joee Conroy in 1981 in Santa Cruz, California. In 1979 Conroy had moved to Santa Cruz from his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky, where his musical experiences had included participation in two groups with Steve Roberts, a drummer who would later switch mainly to keyboards and co-found Louisville proggers French TV. A fan of Gong, Material, the Muffins, and Fred Frith, Conroy managed a record store, worked for Greenpeace, and played in various groups in Santa Cruz before the formation of Ut Gret. Conroy played fretless bass and violin in the band, joined by other musicians including David Stilley (saxes, brass, double reeds) and James Potter (clarinets).
