Barnacles - And So We Begin

This five-piece UK Jazz band, consisting of just horn section and drums, combine the energy and intensity of dance music with the spontaneity and freedom of a live group. Having no chordal instrument, results in a no safety net, nowhere to hide, raw and untempered ride.


Collective improvisation and arrangement ideas of Charles Mingus, the time games and rounds of Moon Dog, are combined with a modern heavy and dirty sentiment soaked up at squat parties and reggae sound system by band leader Leroy Horns.
