Welcome!

Edmund Welles, the world’s only original bass clarinet quartet, is very pleased to offer you high quality recordings of our music. We present each album as a work of art: musically, visually and with great attention to liner notes. (Agrippa’s 3 Books, for instance, contains a 24-page book.)

In addition to our albums, on this website you’ll find:

– an instructional package for bass clarinet players, the Tooth & Claw Companion and Agrippa’s Companion

– photos of us (and album-related art work coming soon)

– links to purchase sheet music and t-shirts (t-shirts coming back soon)

Contact us if you have questions, and sign up on the Cornelius Boots email announcements list in the sidebar for new music, upcoming shows, and special things like secret albums.

Thank you for visiting!
