Description
'Blueprints & Vignettes' is the third album from leading Sydney based pianist-composer Steve Barry.
A product of Barry's PhD in composition at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, 'Blueprints & Vignettes' reflects his parallel interests in jazz, free improvisation and 20th century classical music. The album dances between intricate compositions and free improvisation in an exploration of harmonic hues and the spontaneous re-imagination of pre-set structures, reflecting an eclectic palate of influences ranging from Paul Bley to Elliott Carter.
Joining Barry are longstanding collaborators Jeremy Rose (alto saxophone, bass clarinet), Max Alduca (bass) and Dave Goodman (drums). Beautifully captured at Sydney's Sony Studios by Ross A'hern, the album marks a distinctive contribution to Barry's growing output.
