It's a beautifully wrought recital of empathic world class jazz. Each seems now to be able to anticipate the others moves with nary a nod of direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNewton continues to combine taste, touch and innate harmonic sense in the manner of the perfect accompanist while Barnes, whether piping a clarinet ballad or simply letting the majestic weight of his baritone sax's sound carry a song plays with touching candour. Tenor saxophone and bass clarinet are also featured but it is his alto - once upon a time peppered with allusions to others but now utterly personal - which draws the listener in with its tonal detail and commanding poise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeither man hides here, either behind profligate showmanship or substandard material.\u003cbr\u003eCaptured in up close audio, this is an album that has an affecting eavesdropping quality to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd, although each has been a gem in its own right this, with its carefully programmed set bookending bosses, ballads, Bacharach and Bernstein is Barnes and Newton's best outing yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlan Barnes alto, tenor and baritone saxophones, clarinet and bass clarinet.\u003cbr\u003eDavid Newton piano\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrigas Nunca Mais\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA House Is Not A Home\/Alfie\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou're My Thrill\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLondon By Night\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Tis Autumn\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLucky To Be Me\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTonight I Shall Sleep With A Smile On My Face\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Is All I Ask\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Bientot\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54420541047169,"sku":"2394150","price":15.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/5052442026433.jpg?v=1750593359","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2394150","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
