BARNACLED

Barnacled is an avant-jazz supergroup from Providence RI, which may account for their prog/noise leanings. Barnacled's nine-member lineup includes local luminaries Alec K Redfearn on accordian, electronic mastermind Frank Difficult, and JMMJ (Jason McGill / Michael Jefferies) on alto/baritone saxophone. Bassoon, guitar, and various types of percussion will all be in the mix for Barnacled's rare NY-area appearances. Barnacled can be found Dec 15th at Don Pedro in Brooklyn, and ESP-Disk is throwing a record release party at Manhattan's Bowery Poetry Club on Dec 16th. The new Barnacled album is called "Charles," it's their first since their 2002 debut on Corleone, and it was released by ESP-Disk in November 2008. from http://freemusicarchive.org
