Barbara London
Northern Portrait
Album US 1983 on Wild Aster Productions label
Jazz (Post-Bop)
'The music of Barbara London and her colleagues is spontaneous, fresh, and joyous. The blend of colors and textures is a delight to the ear and the imagination. The contrapuntal lines rise and fall as saxophone and flute meet, then separate, in long curving phases. The sounds of the bass, drums and vibes provide a buoyant lift, charged with rhythmic intensity. Barbara London and her friends are totally committed to their music, which is warm, vital, and full of happy surprises.' -Marion McPartland Recorded remote at Johnson Theatre, University of New Hampshire, Durham July 20, 1982 Special Thanks to: Louise and Bud London, Arlene and Harry Sparrow, Alicia and Bill van Hoogenhuize, Marjorie Hunter, Janet Lawson, Joe Newman.
