A CD of original compositions by Barry wedgle.
'This album is guitarist Barry Wedgle's recording debut. He has chosen
to present an eclectic musical aesthetic in a collection of deverse
settings which include both traditional and unconventional small
groups, a big band with a latin
percussion section & a women's choir. Raised in Denver, Barry's early
musical influence were 'jazz standards'. The Hit parade of the 30's &
40's. Next was rock and bebop. During the extraordinary influx of
world music in the 60's, Flamenco also attracted him. Drummer Jerry
Granelli's
group 'Visions' was Barry's introduction to post-bop and free jazz
traditions of which he now has a great command of, as evidenced by
this recording. His playing is marked by a powerful attack, rythmic
security, and an oblique sense of
phrasing, elements that have characterized some of the most inventive
improvisors in jazz.
Paul McCandless
