Barney Wilen – Inside Nitty-Gritty (Vinil 180g, LP dublu)

According to Barney Wilen, he was persuaded to become a musician by his mother’s friend, the poet Blaise Cendrars. As a teenager, he founded a jazz club for young people in Nice, where he often performed. He moved to Paris in the mid-1950s and worked at the Club St Germain with American musicians such as Bud Powell, Benny Golson, Miles Davis and J.J. Johnson.

His budding reputation was cemented in 1957 when he played with Davis on the soundtrack of the Louis Malle film Elevator to the Gallows. Two years later, he worked with Art Blakey and Thelonious Monk on the soundtrack to Roger Vadim’s „Les Liaisons Dangereuses” (1960).

Barney Wilen is joined on „Inside Nitty Gritty” by organist Emmanuel Bex and drummer Peter Gritz.

Venus Records was founded in Japan in 1992 by Tetsuo Hara, who had previously worked as a producer for RCA Victor. The renowned label uses a special mastering process called “Hyper Magnum Sound,” which produces a powerful, dynamic sound and is highly regarded by audiophiles worldwide. A quick note: Venus LPs are pressed only once. Once the run is sold out, the title is removed from the catalog and will not be reissued. Collectors should therefore not wait too long to place their orders: the releases from the “Venus Masterpiece Collection” are extremely popular!

We recommend the use of „L’Art du Son” LP cleaner to wet wash your vinyl. Even new records of high quality production will benefit from this.
