La complicidad y química de estos tres veteranos del jazz se hace aún más patente en este directo inédito, desde el Festival de Brecon '95 en Gales, extraído de las cintas originales del archivo, propiedad del conocido promotor, productor y fundador de la agencia International Jazz Productions; Jordi Suñol, y masterizadas por el ingeniero de sonido; Mathew Lutthans, quien ha sabido capturar, en este doble LP, toda la magia y fluidez con una envolvente y cristalina nitidez.
Kenny Barron; al piano, Ray Drummond; al bajo y Ben Riley; a la bateria, sentando cátedra y ofreciendo uno de sus directos más recordados, donde además de versionar a Monk o Hubbard nos deleitan con lo mas granado de su propia cosecha, ahí es nada.

📸 [𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀] 𝗞𝗲𝗻𝗻𝘆 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗼𝗻 « 𝗦𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 »

On l’a connu comme accompagnateur dans les années 60 à 90 (Dizzy Gillespie, Freddie Hubbard, et surtout Stan Getz, avec qui il a gravé ses derniers chefs-d’oeuvre), comme co-leader dévolu au répertoire de Thelonious Monk avec le groupe Sphere. Mais ce qui nous attire chez lui est d’une essence bien plus profonde que des louanges dues aux circonstances : en effet, @kennybarron concentre dans ses doigts l’histoire du piano jazz qu’il a patiemment digérée pour forger un style fait d’élégance et de swing. Aujourd’hui, on continue d’apprécier chacune des apparitions en concert qui s’apparente à celle d’un sorcier tranquille délivrant son oracle. Sur son dernier opus « Songbook », il a convoqué des vocalistes qui, tour à tour, bénéficient de sa science d’accompagnateur. Parmi ses invités à Marciac, @catherinerussellmusic prouve à chaque mesure sa culture du répertoire et des lyrics. Quant à @tyreek.mcdole, rapidement propulsé au rang de continuateur de Leon Thomas et de Gregory Porter, son étoile est à portée de main... À la tête de son trio féminin, @kanoabass (contrebasse) et @savvyknows (batterie), Kenny Barron endosse pour ce concert, le rôle de passeur bienveillant, offrant à ses invités un écrin que beaucoup de leurs contemporains caressent dans leurs rêves les plus secrets.

The best! ✨✨✨ @kennybarron 💐💐💐

Playing duo tonight 9:30pm with the maestro #kennybarron in #laspezia. It’s been a beautiful run with #greghutchinson and @ekepnkwelle ✨✨✨

I’ve posted a couple more transcriptions of dear @kiyobass on my website - this solo on Monk’s “Shuffle Boil” from Kenny’s album “Book of Intuition” and a two-feel from “In Your Own Sweet Way” from Triology. 💐

After the show I’ll be driving overnight to @cosmojazz_festival in #chamonix to play with @emileparisien, 10am soundcheck - wish me luck! 😅 by @kennybarron
