BARNEY WILEN Vinilo y CD

Review: This first-ever reissue of Zodiac has been restored and remastered from Barney Wilen's personal copy of it after no others could be found for the job. It landed originally on Disques Vogue in 1966 and was recorded after Barney had been touring with Art Blakey's Jazz Messenger's and Miles Davis. It's a super exploration of free jazz that is dedicated to the signs of the zodiac. Photographer Jean Lariviere created the photos for the artwork which at the time was intended to create a film and storyline to go with the music, but the concept was never quite properly finished.
