Barney Wilen French Ballads

It's a different Barney Wilen, a different saxophone identity, that resounds on French Ballads. More confident and complex. More comfortable and in tune with the musical progress since the 1950s: one can hear it in the unrushed freedom of his playing, in the flurries and embellishments he adds. The melodies and lyrics were as familiar to jazz ears as they were to a mainstream audience. Now available on 180g, double vinyl.
