Harlem 2000
Dan Barrett (2002)


By C. Michael Bailey Discuss        

The unknown Apollo…

Dan Barrett, long known for his involvement in the Swing resurgence of the late 1980s and early ‘90s, has produced a really fine studio recital of lesser known (and some well-known) swing tunes. Couple this with the fact that he employs a sextet that sound like a modest big band, and the results are wholly satisfying and readily accessible. Recorded in Hamburg for Nagel Heyer, Barrett’s philosophy from his previous release, Dan Barrett’s International Swing Party .

Here, Barrett has his standby clarinetist Engelbert Wrobel and saxophonist John Smith on hand. The repertoire is eclectic with the second-string Swing tunes. The results are perfect. If the listener is tired of the same old thing in Swing music, then check this recording out. There is not a single dull moment.


Track listing: Beyond The Blue Horizon; Four Or Five Times; Dreamy Mood; It’s Been So Long; Solid Old Man; Angel’s Idea; Echoes Of Harlem; Haven’t Named It Yet; Drop Me Off In Harlem; Body And Soul; Harlem Sundown; I May Be Wrong; B-Flat Swing; Synthetic Love; A Lull At Dawn. (Total Time: 70:52).
