Rockabilly / 50s Rock 'n' Roll

Jazz tenor saxophonist, Barney Wilen, was born on March 4, 1937 in Nice, France. He had an American father and a French mother. Encouraged by writer Blaise Cendrars, a friend of his mother, Barney began performing in clubs at a young age.
In 1957, Barney's career took off when he was recruited by Miles Davis to create the music for Louis Malle's film "Ascenseur pour l'echafaud". Alongside pianist René Urtreger, bassist Pierre Michelot and drummer Kenny Clarke, they improvised and recorded the soundtrack in one night while watching the movie.
Barney went on to record with Thelonious Monk and was chosen by Art Blakey to interpret the music for Roger Vadim's film "Les liaisons dangereuses" in 1960. He also appeared on the TV show Jazz Memories and performed at the Newport Jazz Festival with notable musicians.
In the late 1960s, Barney became interested in rock music and dedicated a record to Timothy Leary. He later ventured into Africa with Caroline de Bendern and created the album "Moshi" which combined jazz and African music. After a period of silence, he composed music for French films in the 1980s-1990s before returning to jazz.

Elemental Music presents a never-before-heard complete concert which constitutes the only recorded testimony of the reunion of two jazz giants: French tenor and soprano saxophonist Barney Wilen and Spanish pianist Tete Montoliu. All tracks from this concert, which took place in Grenoble, France on February 12, 1988 are previously unreleased and boast excellent sound quality. The group is completed by the Italian bassist Riccardo del Fra (who frequently played and recorded with Chet Baker) and Chicago drummer Aaron Scott (who the year following this Grenoble concert would start a 14-year association and tenure with pianist McCoy Tyner as part of the McCoy Tyner Trio, winning three Grammy Awards and performing worldwide). This release includes specially prepared liner notes as well as never before published photos from the actual performance.
