Un témoin dans la ville

Description

Barney Wilen's career took off in 1957. That year, he won the Django Reinhardt Prize and recorded the soundtrack for the film 'Ascenseur pour l'échafaud' with Miles Davis. Benefiting from international fame, in 59 he recorded the music for the film 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses' with Thelonious Monk and Art Blakey, then composed the music for the film 'Un témoin dans la ville' directed by Edouard Molinaro. For this nocturnal round through Paris, Barney Wilen is surrounded by the musicians who have been accompanying him for several weeks at the Club Saint-Germain: Kenny Dorham, Duke Jordan, Paul Rovère and Kenny Clarke. The result is a most happy marriage, as the music seems to have been created for the image and the image for the music.Barney Wilen (Tenor Saxophone)Kenny Dorham (Trumpet)Duke Jordan (Piano)Paul Rovère (Bass)Kenny Clarke (Drums)
