The McCarron Brothers are connected through their creative leanings, not by blood. They came together out of camaraderie and sheer curiosity to see what improvisations they would come up with while playing off of each other. Carlon recalls, “I had known Mark mostly from playing in drummer Art Lillard’s quartet and big band. I also met Doug through playing with Art. Russ and I had known each other for a bunch of years, since Grupo los Santos used to play every week at El Taller Latinoamericano on the Upper West Side back in 1998-2000. Russ would come by and sit in with us sometimes. Lately, I’ve also been subbing with a band Russ is in called G.R.A.S.S. (Gowanus Reggae and Ska Society). Mark and I had been talking about getting together and doing some playing. I knew his writing from playing some of his material with Art. In fact, I remember playing ‘A Fleeting Sense’ with Art’s quartet, and liking it right away. Mark was the one who sent out the emails and set up the first session, and we all hit it off musically from the start.” Read full interview from JazzReview.com
