about

"The Oodles of Noodles Improvisation Suite" is, as the title suggests, a suite of related tunes, all of which were improvised. That there is some thematic unity to the piece is due to the fact that when I sit down to just "noodle", that is, to improvise with no pre-conceived notion of where I might be going, I tend to find myself following some familiar pathways, but taking different twists and turns. The tunes in this suite are arranged in three Sets of four contrasting tunes each, preceded by an Overture, and followed by a Finale.
All of the tunes herein were recorded between 17 November 2018 and 14 April 2021 and were conceived of as stand alone entities. It is only recently that I realized that there was sufficient thematic unity among them that they could be organized into a suite. Most of these tunes are played on banjo and harmonica, with two of them being solo banjo.
Two of the tunes (Wandering Whiskey Jack and Oodles of Noodles) have been previously released on other albums, but have been remastered for this one.

about

Marc Nerenberg Montreal, Québec

Marc Nerenberg is a veteran Montreal folksinger who plays old time banjo styles and blues harmonica. He has a narrative- centric repertoire, recounting stories in song and wrapping stories around songs. You may “be drawn in by a combination of Marc’s mastery of traditional banjo styles, his idiosyncratic singing, and [his] richly detailed ballads.” (Mike Regenstreif – Folk Roots/Folk Branches 2019) ... more
