1) A Bay-area progressive jazz band, first called Jazz on the Line (later renamed 2 AM) .

In the summer of 1984 Rent Romus founded the Jazz on the Line with co-founding members saxophonist/composer Michael Sidney Timpson, saxophonist Daniel Magay. In 1986 while attending the University of California at Santa Cruz, Rent Romus re-formed the group, which became the primary focus for his compositions and productions until 1993. The group began as an acoustic jazz sextet that later fused jazz, blues, gospel, and other popular styles into original compositions.
Romus and the group produced three albums in the late 1980's and 1990's for this group including his critically acclaimed "Jazz On the Line with Chico Freeman, In The Moment" on Edgetone Records (reissued in 2008 as Thundershine).
During that period Romus wrote over one hundred and fifty original compositions some of which have still not be performed or recorded.
In 2003 Romus wrote a series of scores for a screenplay. That recording "Strap" featured three players from the San Francisco Bay Area experimental music community with experience in the jazz world.
