Practically a self-taught musician, Rowe started his career in playing bass in a local New York City band in jazz clubs, until he met drummer Pierre Moerlen.
He moved to France with Moerlen and became a member of Gong, taking part in their transformation into Pierre Moerlen's Gong (PMG) in 1977, playing on their albums Expresso II, Downwind, Live, Time is the Key and Leave It Open.
In 1986, he appeared on a re-united PMG album Breakthrough and in 1988 on Second Wind and Full Circle Live '88.
[1] As one of the world’s leading bassists, Rowe has worked with the likes of Mike Oldfield, Allan Holdsworth, John Martyn, Biréli Lagrène, La Monte Young, David “Fuze” Fiuczynski, Gary Husband and many others.
The trio released their debut album in 2013, which was recorded at Piccolo Studio in Montreal, and produced by Denis Savage.
