Barney McAll joined saxophonist Gary Bartz‘s band in 1997. As well as remaining to be a member of the Gary Bartz quartet, he also plays with the Josh Roseman Unit, Fred Wesley and the JB’s, Groove Collective, and Kurt Rosenwinkel‘s “Heartcore”. He completed a Bachelor of Music at the Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne, studying with pianists Paul Grabowsky, Tony Gould and Mike Nock and with guitarist Doug Devries. His ensembles include “M.O.D.A.S”, “Sylent Running”, “GRAFT” , ASIO (Australian Symbiotic Improvisers Orbit) TQX featuring Sia and his “Non Compliance Trio”. He was awarded the Australia Council Fellowship in 2007 and worked as musical director for Australian vocalist Sia Furler from 2011-2012. Barney McAll is also the 2015 recipient of the Peggy Glanville-Hicks composer residency in Sydney, Australia 2016. He has recorded or performed internationally with many other musicians including Dewey Redman, Roy Ayers, Kenny Garrett, Maceo Parker, Jimmy Cobb, Eddie Henderson, Aloe Blacc, Peter Apfelbaum, Billy Harper, Daniel Merriweather and Vernel Fournier. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2015 McAll won Best Jazz Album for Mooroolbark.[1] 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 bassand whispered cymbal chatter – or just finding bewitchingly unexpected turns to take indeveloping a melody.
