AMM have never been well-known to the general public, but have been, in their own way, hugely influential on several generations of adventurous musicians.
AMM was initially composed of Keith Rowe on guitar, Lou Gare on saxophone and Eddie Prévost on drums.

 Notes on AMM - Entering and Leaving History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
AMM evolved out of the first generation of British free jazz musicians in 1965, with a core group of percussionist Eddie Prévost, guitarist Keith Rowe and saxophonist Lou Gare.
The group that AMM most closely resembles, though they sound utterly unalike and their musics seem to take shape on different principles, is the trio of Evan Parker, Barry Guy, and Paul Lytton, whose playing relationship is almost as long as AMM's and who share the same devotion to collective improvisation.
AMM statements have made much of the possibility (even necessary presence) of failure in every performance, both as an index of the demands of improvisation and as a source of new material and directions.

 Keith Rowe
AMM was based on a philosophy whereas free jazz was based on performance of music.
AMM is a leaderless group, certainly, but the politics is within the counterpoint.
One of the many counterpoints in the AMM is the difference in physicality; clearly Eddie is the most physical, John is in between, and I'm the least physical.

The Group's founder was Dewan Bahadur Arunachalam Murugappa Murugappa Chettiar (known as Dewan Bahadur), the youngest of three sons, born in 1884.
One of the patterns in the Group's development is that their foreign partners lose interest in the Indian venture due to acquisition, management or strategy changes and sell back their shares to the family at a better than fair price because of the trusting relationship they had built.
For the Murugappa Group family business leaders, the last three years have been times of great structural changes, shifts in thinking and adaptation, all the while managing a major spectrum of successful businesses and opportunities in a marketplace that is increasingly fast-paced and global.
