Our Take

Grab your Vegemite toast and put on your cork hat, because Barney McAll's latest album "Mooroolbarkin" is a wild ride through the Australian outback of jazz fusion. Hailing from Down Under, McAll brings his Aussie charm to the forefront with a unique blend of traditional jazz instrumentation, electronic beats, and plenty of didgeridoo solos.

From the opening track "Kangaroo Dance Party" to the hauntingly beautiful "Boomerang Blues," McAll takes listeners on a sonic journey through the bush, evoking images of kangaroos hopping across the desert and koalas lounging in the eucalyptus trees. His piano skills are on full display, showcasing his mastery of both delicate melodies and frenetic improvisations.

But it's not just McAll who shines on this album - the supporting cast of musicians, including didgeridoo virtuoso William Barton and percussionist Hamish Stuart, add layers of depth and complexity to the music. The result is an album that feels both familiar and refreshingly new, like discovering a hidden gem in the vast Australian landscape.

So grab a tinny of Foster's, kick back, and let Barney McAll's "Mooroolbarkin" take you on a musical journey unlike any other. G'day, mate - this one's a ripper!
