Barnyard Records is an independent Canadian Label, promoting new creative music.
We are pleased to announce the release of the following Barnyard Records:
COLIN FISHER AND JEAN MARTIN / LITTLE MAN ON THE BOAT(BR0303)This studio recording deftly interlaces and frames the spontaneous improvisations of Toronto reeds/guitar multi-instrumentalist Colin Fisher and drummer/producer Jean Martin into extended and dynamic song forms with results that range from delicate to euphoricEVAN SHAW AND JEAN MARTIN / PIANO MUSIC (BR0304)Daring jazz-based improvisations by alto saxophone Evan Shaw and drummer Jean Martin. Each player's hugely individual, energetic soloing and the uncanny interplay between them are underpinned by saxophone-section-like overdubs that demonstrate the orchestral conception in which this inimitable duo works
LORI FREEDMAN AND SCOTT THOMSON /PLUMB(BR0305 A recording of wide-ranging, freely improvised solos and duets by Montréal clarinetist and bass clarinetist Lori Freedman and Toronto trombonist Scott Thomson played, as Mark Miller says in his liner notes, "with a folksy sort of virtuosity - amiable, agreeably unpretentious and without the patented sheen of the conservatory."
BARNYARD DRAMA / I'M A NAVVY (BR0302) "The music of Barnyard Drama is spawned from the same gene pool as Sophia Loren meets Leadbelly in the dark, covered with Corn Husker’s hand lotion’." Ron Gaskin. “it's cannily over-the-top in a nicely understated way†M. Miller. “...archetypal carneys living in the modern world†J. Southworth.
