Live In Amsterdam - William Barrett Band - Vinyl LP Record (Arrives in 50 days)

Raw, restless, and unpolished — that is the sound of the William Barrett Band. The deceptively simple compositions of bandleader William Barrett open the door to freedom: improvisation, deep musical interplay, and a powerful connection with the audience. Ever stood on the edge of a musical abyss with a bassist? Tonight, you can.

Featuring: Mo van der Does – saxophone Gijs Idema – guitar Wouter Kühne – drums William Barrett – double bass (bandleader)

With the release of his debut album, Live In Amsterdam, Barrett presents a raw and emotionally immediate sound, brought to life alongside some of the most compelling voices in Dutch jazz.

The steamy focus of attention were four musicians, set up in a circle, who may have been short of breath sometimes, yet were never short of splendor. They go by Mo van der Does, Gijs Idema, Wouter Kühne and – bandleader – William Barrett. Barrett, arguably Amsterdam’s favorite guest musician, never lacked ideas. With his unique poetic jazz project Vondelier, he already showcased his competency as a composer, as well as his off-trail approach. […] He now explores a sound that is more emotionally immediate. Side by side with some of the most productive musicians in Dutch jazz, the bassist appears more confident than ever before.
