Montreal Duets - Barney & Alain Jean-marie Wilen - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Live At The Festival International De Jazz De Montreal, Church Of The Gesu July 4, 1988

Includes essays by Pascal Anquetil (Jazz Magazine) & Brian Morton (Penguin Guide To Jazz)

“The alchemy of a duo cannot be decreed. It can be verified by the heat of this exchange. The Montreal concert is living proof. With these two musicians, jazz is not a matter of tempo or repertoire, of structures or the number of notes played in each bar. It is above all a matter of breathing, of the punctuation of each phrase, of the courtesy toward silence, a matter of music itself.” Pascal Anquetil (December 2019)

“Wilen’s preferred piano partner, for much of his later career, was the Martinique-born Alain Jean-Marie. He appears on both La Note Bleue and Wild Dogs of the Ruwenzori, but the duo’s Montréal appearance in 1993 is a nice way to study their chemistry at some length.” Brian Morton (December 2019)
