| Originally founded in 1974, The Muffins were one of the best known bands in a world-reknowned progressive music scene that flourished in D.C. a decade before D.C.'s better known hard-core punk scene emerged. Double Negative is The Muffins' 2nd studio recording released since reforming and possibly the most ambitious work of their career. Featuring 75 minutes of music spread over 17 songs, Double Negative is The Muffins' most compositionally diverse work, featuring pieces that vary in style from jazz to rock to classical and beyond. In addition, it is the band's most instrumentally rich work, featuring an unprecedented number of guest appearances by musicians from D.C. (some previously on Bandwidth) and farther afield. 2 principal members of the Sun Ra Arkestra, Marshall Allen and Knoel Scott, play sax on several Double Negative tracks. |
ARTISTS The Muffins: Billy Swann (acoustic guitar, bass guitar); Paul Sears (electric guitar, drums); Thomas Frasier Scott (flute, clarinet, alto clarinet, soprano saxophone, alto saxophone, keyboards, percussion, programming); Dave Newhouse (flute, bass clarinet, tenor saxophone, baritone saxophone, keyboards). Additional personnel: Janusch (spoken vocals); Amy Taylor (violin); Kristin Snyder (viola); Laura Dent, Okorie Johnson (cello); Knoel Scott (alto saxophone, baritone saxophone); Marshall Allen (alto saxophone); Doug Elliot (trombone). |
