Barney McAll April 8, 2009

Since permanently moving to NYC from Australia in 1997 to join Gary Bartz's quartet (working with him ever since), pianist/composer Barney McAll has played the broadest spectrum of gigs from accompanying Gospel choirs in church to the Downtown scene of The Knitting Factory and John Zorn's club "The Stone." The Brooklyn-based pianist has played with jazz heavyweights such as Jimmy Cobb, the late Dewey Redman, and Billy Harper, as well as funk greats Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley and the JBs. His contemporary credits include Kurt Rosenwinkel's "Heartcore" group, and both Josh Roseman's "New Constellations" big band and Unit.
