-CMJ WEBSITE REVIEW



There was a virtual absence of familiar bop riffs, extended bop harmonies or precise bop rhythms. Instead, Rosenwinkel's pieces offered turbulent, thickly textured waves of sound, mostly produced by Barney McAll's impassioned keyboard work.



- LOS ANGELES TIMES



Big Black Jet were the finest purveyors of vanish core in history



-GREG MOORHOUSE



Barney is a special piano player with that certain heart and touch, so he has great possibilities. He's a genuine musician, not just a skilled artist. There's a certain touch that I'm talking about. It's hard to explain, but he has that"



BILLY HARPER



Using space and simplicity, Barney McAll conjures mighty music



KEN MICALLEF



McAll manages to intelligently integrate pop elements into his music and deserves much wider attention.

- LOS ANGELES TIMES



McAll displays an immediate feel for each pattern and the stamina to sustain them without sounding automatic. McAll also

contributed some of the most successful solos, playfully blending his parts of the arrangements with bleeding voicings and

darting accents"

-THE BOSTON GLOBE

competitive New York jazz scene, he plays here with some of the city's leading musicians.His music is utterly contemporary,

McAll demonstrating throughout that he is a talented composer as

well as gifted keyboardist"



- ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE



The revelation of the evening is pianist Barney McAll. Playing beneath the

liquid passages of (Dewey) Redman, McAll carefully kneaded clusters of notes from his hands that I found devastating. He explored ideas with a dramatic

flourish that had the audience in raptures"
