Euphoria RipensBarry Wallenstein (Vocals & Poetry), Adam Birnbaum (Piano), Steve Carlin (Guitar), Daniel Carter (Saxophone, Clarinet, and Trumpet), Vincent Chancey (French Horn), Bob Cunninngham (Bass)Barry Wallenstein writes distinctive and accessible poetry and possesses a distinct voice that delivers prose clearly and with a hip, unaffected style. Perhaps what most distinguishes his recorded work is the respect for and equality of the music, of which his thoughts are an integral part.
Music and vocals are partners in this thoughtful and stimulating venture. It is a great balance between word and improvisation and is most listenable on many levels and demands.

PandemoniumBarry Wallenstien (Primary), John Hicks (Piano), Curtis Lundy (Bass), Vincent Chancey (French Horn), Daniel Carter (Saxophone), Serge Pesce (Guitar), Barry Wallenstein (Vocals)Barry Wallenstein is both a poet (he wrote the text on these fifteen cuts), a voice (his is the distinctive and warm voice heard here), and a player (dig how his texts, delivery, and coloring integrate within the septet). This is the second issue on Cadence Jazz Records for this much-honored poet whose other recorded collaborations over the past 30 years have included Stanley Cowell, Charles Tyler, and Arthur Blythe. Barry's poetry speaks warmly of hard things and over the course of the program conveys a range of emotions, all very human, all very believable. A 20-page booklet with full text accompanies this exceptional work. Easily accessible to both those who appreciate unhackneyed prose and poetry as well as those who appreciate uncompromised improvised music.
