Tom in RI Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) I’ve only become aware of British reedman Alan Barnes in the last few years. Solid mainstream guy who sounds equally a home on baritone, tenor and alto. Was listening today to a date he co-led with fellow reedman John Hallam and what I presume is an all Brit rhythm section. I see has quite a few dates out on the Woodville label, additional recommendations welcome.

John Tapscott Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 I have a number of Alan Barnes CD's on Woodville: I would recommend almost any of them, but these are among my favorites. I often think that baritone is his strongest "axe". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillF Posted March 18, 2023 Report Share Posted March 18, 2023 I know Alan Barnes well and have seen him play many times. I fully back John's selection (particularly the one with Scott Hamilton) and would perhaps add this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
