Band/artist history
Barney McAll is a musical conjurer of the highest order -CMJ WEBSITE REVIEW "...impassioned" - LA TIMES Using space and simplicity, Barney McAll conjures mighty music -KEN MICALLEF McAll displays an immediate feel for each pattern and the stamina to sustain them without sounding automatic. McAll also contributed some of the most successful solos, playfully blending his parts of the arrangements with bleeding voicings and darting accents" -THE BOSTON GLOBE "(McAll's) ability to craft memorable themes is matched by a feel for the atmospheric..Now established on the intensely competitive New York jazz scene, he plays here with some of the city’s leading musicians.His music is utterly contemporary, McAll demonstrating throughout that he is a talented composer as well as gifted keyboardist" - ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE The revelation of the evening is pianist Barney McAll. Playing beneath the liquid passages of (Dewey) Redman, McAll carefully kneaded clusters of notes from his hands that I found devastating. He explored ideas with a dramatic flourish that had the audience in raptures" -DRUM MEDIA “The key factor is the way McAll layers and combines the different voices within the ensemble, the different elements of each composition ; the use of repetition is especially effective, whether to build tension or to mesmerize the listener. Every track evokes a different mood, and the temptation to play the album repeatedly is strongâ€. -the Bulletin
