Barney McAll “Non-Compliance” Quartet – Friday, 15th of March, 2024:
Grammy nominated, ARIA-winning artist, Barney McAll, is one of Australia’s most innovative musicians and composers. For his “Non Compliance” 4tet he unites Sydney’s young rising stars to explore a mix of brand-new original music and obscure old-world gems.
From soulful performances to captivating compositions, Barney’s portfolio is astounding: he has contributed to over 100 albums, created 29 solo works, and joined forces with some of music’s finest, including Dewey Redman, Gary Bartz, SIA, Maceo Parker, Kurt Rosenwinkel, and Fred Wesley.
“Barney is one of my favourite pianists, that’s why he’s been in my band for the last 20 years” – Gary Bartz.
“McAll is partial to unleashing surprises himself, whether they be radical dynamic shifts – such as suddenly reducing a solo to the merest trickle of notes against thrumming bass and whispered cymbal chatter – or just finding bewitchingly unexpected turns to take in developing a melody. Masterful.” – Sydney Morning Herald.
“An apex of all-out funk brought the house down” – The Australian.
