THE MUFFINS - DOUBLE NEGATIVE


"Double Negative" was recorded in 2002 and 2003. The 17 compositions that one finds on this disc are what one expects of The Muffins: varying tempos, moods and colours; great melodies and fine improvisations. For "Double Negative", The Muffins used a string ensemble. And they also invited Marshall Allen and Knoel Scott (both from The Sun Ra Arkestra) to join them on a couple of tunes, resulting in some fine free jazz solos.

"Double Negative", that's about as positive as it can get.
Recommended listening !
