The Harry Bartlett Trio: Wildwood

The Harry Bartlett Trio's Wildwood twangs like something coming out of West Texas. The instrumentation is guitar, bass and drums, pure and simple. The opener, “Burgess Falls," might suggest a wide open desert landscape in the U.S.A.'s southwest, but the real Burgess Falls is located in Tennessee, where good country music can be found. As suggested by the opener, in part Bartlett's style is rooted in American folk and Western music sounds, but it also embraces jazz and improvisation.
