    "Le Ca: New York Romance" Barney Wilen, Venus CD.

     

    I have three different cover versions of this release because it's an absolute favorite. Each feature his lovely companion, Marie Moor. 

    This is an RVG recording, and you can sense the seriousness and yet joy of recording in this venue that Wilen likely felt. And it is a great showcase for the beautiful beautiful sound that Wilen got out of all the horns he played. Beautiful sound, beautiful melody and innovative interpretation. He was a master who should have recorded more, but I think he recorded just as much as he wanted to.

    Bass – Ira Coleman
    Drums – Lewis Nash
    Soprano Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone, Baritone Saxophone – Barney Wilen
    Piano: Kenny Barron

    Recorded at the Rudy Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey on June 19-20, 1994.
