Featuring Mark McCarron - Guitars, Paul Carlon - Tenor & Soprano Saxophones, Doug Largent - Acoustic & Electric Bass & Russ Meissner - Drums. The McCarron Bros. released their debut CD "Way Down in Brooklyn" in the Spring of 2009 on Deep Tone Records. The project grew out of a regular series of jam sessions, started on guitarist Mark McCarron’s initiative, in the Fall of 2006. The freewheeling playing time gradually coalesced into a combination improvisation/composition workshop as Carlon and McCarron began to write originals specifically for this lineup. Cheerfully accompanied by Truffles, Largent’s foundling pit bull, the four wiled away the Brooklyn afternoons with no particular agenda other than playing and having a good time. Eventually, it seemed that the time was right to document what they’d been doing, so recording time was scheduled for August 2008. Recorded in a day at Soundworks studio in Astoria, the result is an atmospheric blend of Scofield funk and Bitches Brew fusion influences, Frisell-ish country, Radiohead, and free jazz.
