Trumpeter Guy Barker's debut album for Provocateur features seven Guy Barker originals plus a Colin Towns arrangement of Nature Boy. It also features Guy's epic suite Sounds In Black & White, described by The Independent as "a marvel".
2002 album from Mercury Prize nominee. A superior British trumpeter with an attractive tone and a versatile style, Guy Barker has thus far recorded as a leader for Miles Music and Spotlite. In England, after formal study, he played with John Dankworth, the visiting Gil Evans, Mike Westbrook, Chris Hunter, Carla Bley, Ornette Coleman ('Skies of America') and Clark Tracey. Baker also worked extensively with Stan Tracey and played at repertory concerts. His Isn't It set for Spotlite includes an effective version of Bix Beiderbecke's 'In a Mist.'
"There's a pull between craftsman and artist in Guy Barker, one of the UK's best jazz trumpeters. There's considerable new promise, too, in the sophisticated originals he has been writing, from convoluted contemporary groovers to an ambitious suite devoted to 1940s and 1950s Hollywood film noir. Soon to be recorded, this is Barker's most ambitious project to date." -
