Will Barnes: Jazz Impressions of the Welsh Landscape
Click the play button to listen
Today, the Spotlight shines On Will Barnes, leader of the Will Barnes Quartet, who joins me to talk about his life in music and, specifically, his ongoing collaboration with landscape artist Erin Hughes.Their first album together, Source of the Severn (AAB Records), is a 21st-century take on classic bebop-era sounds. Erin's nine original works of art respond to Will and the Quartet's music, using her own hand-marbled papers as a palette to create collages that evoke the Mid-Wales landscape in which the participants all dwell.
The Will Barnes Quartet, featuring Erin Hughes, will tour throughout the year. At each performance, Erin will provide a special live visual show, leading to unique interactions between her, the band, and the audience.
