blind-blake Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I alway found Bill Barron to be a vern interesting player. Dragon has just released some recordings of him made in Sweden over the years. Has anyone heard them? Are they any good? Many thanks. http://www.dustygroove.com/item.php?id=mnw...mp;refQ=cat%3D5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted November 22, 2008 Report Share Posted November 22, 2008 I've not yet heard this particular collection, but I've never heard any Barron that was less than interesting, and usually they're more than just that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave James Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 Sure would be nice to see Dusty start carrying labels like Dragon, Heptagon and Phontastic. They have maybe a dozen Dragons listed, most of which are out of stock, but maybe that's a start. Up over and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
relyles Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 That compilation was actually released a couple of years ago. A few familiar Barron tunes and the playing throughout is very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted November 23, 2008 Report Share Posted November 23, 2008 relyles has it right, that collection has been out a while. Good stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Christensen Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Bill Barron (Kennys older brother) was such a nice person, got to know him well when he had a 3 week gig at "Jazzhus Montmartre" with Teddy Curson and Dick Berk, can't remember the name of the bassplayer.

Cadence carries Dragon and Phontastic, plus a few Heptagon titles. http://db.cadencebuilding.com/search/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
