Bass clarinet group likes to classic rock and metal
This original composing band of four bass clarinetists likes to tackle the heavy metal of Black Sabbath, the alternative rock of the Pixies and the thrash metal of Sepultura.
Edmund Welles will be performing at 7:30 p.m. Thursday Oct. 9 at Rhino Records, 235 Yale Ave.
The band includes Jeff Anderle, Cornelius Boots:, Aaron Novik and Jonathan Russell. Boots has composed and led for Edmund Welles since 1996.
In 2004, the group received a Chamber Music America Grant to creat Agrippa's 3 Books, which is a "multi-movement work inspired by occult philosophy and heavy metal music," per a Rhino Records news release.
The piece was featured on the group's debut album of the same title in 2005, according to the news release.
Edmund Welles uses elements of classic rock, avant jazz, black metal and new music for its wind ensemble sound.
