Our Take

The sultry sounds of the saxophone fill the room as the Barney Wilen Quartet takes us on a journey to Tokyo in '91. This live album captures the essence of jazz at its finest, with Wilen's smooth saxophone skills leaving us in awe. The Quartet's chemistry is undeniable, with each member feeding off one another's energy and creating a magical musical experience for the audience.

From the opening track to the final note, Wilen's passion for music shines through in every moment. His improvisational skills are out of this world, taking the listener on a rollercoaster ride of emotions. The rhythm section is tight and on point, providing the perfect foundation for Wilen to soar with his saxophone solos.

But it's not just Wilen who shines on this album - the entire Quartet is on fire. The interplay between the musicians is electric, with each member getting their moment to shine. The energy in the room is palpable, and it's clear that this performance was something truly special.

Overall, Barney Wilen Quartet Live In Tokyo '91 is a must-listen for any jazz enthusiast. It's a masterclass in musicality, passion, and pure talent.

About the artist

Barney Wilen Quartet

Barney Wilen Quartet: The Jazz Enigma Barney Wilen Quartet is a name that floats lazily on the surface of jazz history, both revered and unknown, like a forgotten saxophone solo in a smoke-filled club. Wilen, a French saxophonist who started playing with legends like Miles Davis and Art Blakey at the tender age of 19, has a reputation as enigmatic as his music. With his quartet, Wilen creates a sound that is at once invigorating and contemplative, blending traditional jazz sensibilities with a modern edge that keeps listeners on their toes. His saxophone wails and whispers, telling stories of love, loss, and late-night ramblings. The quartet's discography is a journey through the annals of jazz, from the frenetic energy of "Barney's Blues" to the smooth sophistication of "Dreamtime." Each track is a snapshot of Wilen's ever-evolving musical mind, a testament to his ability to push boundaries while staying true to his jazz roots. But for all his talent and acclaim, Wilen remains a bit of a mystery, a jazz enigma shrouded in smoke and shadow. Perhaps that's the allure of his music – the sense that with each note, we are peeling back just a layer of the man behind the saxophone, forever tantalisingly out of reach. So, if you're looking for something to tickle your jazz fancy and stir your soul, look no further than Barney Wilen Quartet. With his unique blend of tradition and innovation, Wilen is sure to leave you breathless, speechless, and reaching for your nearest glass of whiskey. Cheers to that.
