jazzbo Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 Mine is in the mail to me from Da Bastids. Looking forward to it! Quote
Brad Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 It's on back order at DG. Guess I'll have to wait. Quote
Dave James Posted March 1, 2012 Report Posted March 1, 2012 I'd have to guess that the Barney Wilen fans on this board alone could easily overwhelm Da Bastid's supply logistics. Quote
king ubu Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Posted March 13, 2012 Got my disc today, gave it a first spin - nice one. Nothing too big though... it's a bit on the short side (36 or so minutes) and sounds like a lose jam over large parts. But hey, more Barney is a good thing! Quote

king ubu Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Posted March 13, 2012 I'm spinning it again... it has a nice after hours, bluesy feel to it. Very lose. And Al Levitt's rather special, too... 'course he was on half of Wilen's debut, "Tilt", already... would have enjoyed some more room for Gourley, too - a bit less "Night in Tunisia"-riffin', but hey, it's good fun! I can see this one slowly growing on me! Quote

Haven't looked, but I hear it's up on iTunes now. I saw it is on Amazon as an MP3, and I believe it is also on eMusic, so I will investigate tonight. Pretty exciting, though given the (short) length, I'd rather not pay an arm and a leg... Quote
Michael Weiss Posted May 31, 2012 Report Posted May 31, 2012 Picked up my copy a few days ago at a great store in Barcelona, Jazz Messengers. Can't wait to hear it. Quote
king ubu Posted January 2, 2013 Author Report Posted January 2, 2013 announced for end of January; CD or LP brownie, please tell us more about that lady ... icon of may 1968 and wife of Barney's, it seems: Fin 1968, en effet, j'ai quitté Paris et la profession de mannequin pour voyager en Afrique avec mon compagnon, Barney Wilen, musicien de jazz. Une aventure fantastique. A notre retour, Barney a sorti un disque mêlant jazz et musique africaine. Moi, je chantais et j'écrivais les paroles. Après un autre séjour au Niger, nous nous sommes installés à Monaco. source Quote
brownie Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 Ubu, the link you provided at the bottom of your post, says it all - or almost! Caroline de Bendern was not married to Wilen, she was her companion for several years before he went with Mary Moor. Caroline is now Jacques Thollot's companion. Good choice of musician friends! Hope Moshi Too will be as good and as provocative as the first release! Quote
Head Man Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 announced for end of January; Thanks for the heads-up King Ubu. Does anyone know a UK stockist for it? Quote

Hope Moshi Too will be as good and as provocative as the first release! I hope so, too! Love the first one! Not sure anymore where, but looking her up I read somewhere that they were married. But then the linked page seems to have been written by her, so ... @Head Man: I guess it will turn up on amazon.co.uk eventuall, too. It's already listed on the site but with no date or price yet: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Moshi-Too-Wilen-Barney/dp/B00A7CEDHC/ Quote
Bluesnik Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 It includes some of the finest Barney I've heard! Yes, I second that one, which I love. Quote
jlhoots Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 Snared a copy of Moshi. Will look forward to Moshi Too. Prices for Tilt are off the wall. Glad I already own a copy. Quote
umum_cypher Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 Not sure anymore where, but looking her up I read somewhere that they were married. But then the linked page seems to have been written by her, so ... From memory I think they married in Monaco around August 1976, when they returned from their last trip to Africa. There's a 20,000 word chapter on Wilen in the book on jazz in post-war France I've just finished writing. Quote

brownie Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 Me 2! When is the book coming out? Looks like it's a good research enterprise! Quote
Pim Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 I know Barney most of the recordings with Miles. But I also got this record by him: Quote

jlhoots Posted January 29, 2013 Report Posted January 29, 2013 Moshi Too now available at Dusty Groove. Quote
ejp626 Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Moshi Too now available at Dusty Groove. Yes, I saw that. Tempting, though interesting it is already available as MP3 download at Amazon and iTunes. It is probably also on eMusic, but can't check that until tonight. (In my case, I also have to find out if eMusic in Canada has the rights, as it isn't always the same .) They do have it on eMusic, which is a nice surprise. I'll see if I can dig out my copy of Moshi to refamiliarize myself with the material. Edited February 2, 2013 by ejp626 Quote
king ubu Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Posted February 1, 2013 Gave two listens to my disc so far and it's quite a trip ... field recordings combined with some free-flying tenor and plenty of interesting things going on. Looking forward to getting better acquainted with it! Quote
jazzbo Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 Thanks for the heads up about this one, I should have a copy in my hands soon. Quote
jazzbo Posted February 11, 2013 Report Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Moshi Too is such a killer release! Some of this could be part of Miles early 'seventies repretoire. Others have that Wilen beauty in spades. Still others are captivating in other ways. Edited February 11, 2013 by jazzbo Quote
