Jazz
The diversity of the expressive environments Barker has constructed here is wholly keeping with the genre. In particular, the protean multiplicity of Barker's approach to ensemble displays a strong sense of confidence and openness. On this recording each member of the ensemble: guitarist James Emery, keyboardist Rob Schwimmer, bassist Jerome Harris and Barker himself takes a leading role, presenting visions of this moment in their musical lives that wonderfully complement each other. Originally released in 2001. |
