Wilen was a self taught player and became one of Europe's best and more modern saxophonists. He was born in Nice to a French mother and an American father. He studied the alto and, at 16, moved to where he played with Henry Renaud, and He grew up mostly on the French Riviera; the family left during World War II but returned upon its conclusion. According to Wilen himself, he was convinced to become a musician by his mother's friend, the poet Blaise Cendrars. As a teenager he started a youth jazz club in Nice, where he played often. He moved to Paris in the mid-'50s and worked with such American musicians as , Benny Golson, , and J.J. Johnson at the Club St. Germain. He was very fortunate to tour and record with Miles Davis in 1957. This led to him performing on the soundtrack to the film "Lift to the Scaffold" in 1957. The recording won the Prix Louis Delluc the next year.Two years later, he performed with and on the soundtrack to 's Les Liaisons Dangereuses (1960). He appeared at the 1959 Newport Jazz Festival, one of the first non-americans to do so. During the '60s,Wilen explored with free jazz and Indian music. He appeared at the 1967 Berlin Festival and engineered Archie Shepp's 1969 live performance at the Algiers Festival. In the late 70's and 80's he returned to playing the ballads of his influences Sonny Rollins and Harold Land leading to him being awarded the Grand Prix Charles Cros in 1987. In the 90's he continued to be active, playing at many european summer jazz festivals and recording. He died of cancer May 25, 1996 in Paris, France. Much of Wilen's later work was documented on the Japanese Venus label. Barney Wilen 1959. Barney Wilen 1986. Om d'artiste de Bernard Jean Wilen Musicien français (Nice, 1937 — Paris, 1996). Il séjourne aux États-Unis de 1940 à 1946 et, dès son retour en France, étudie le saxophone ténor. En 1953, âgé de seize ans, il monte à Paris et côtoie sur la scène du Tabou les grands musiciens américains de passage comme Thelonious Monk. En 1957, il participe aux sessions d'enregistrement de la musique du film Ascenseur pour l'échafaud, orchestrée par Miles Davis. Il se produit également avec les vedettes du be-bop comme Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey et Bud Powell. Il fut un des premiers Européens invités au festival de Newport. Après une première éclipse en 1962, il réapparaît au milieu des années 1960 avec Dear Prof Leary (1968) en précurseur du free jazz européen, ouvert également à l'influence de la pop music, définissant ainsi les principes du free jazz-rock. En 1969, il part en Afrique pour un périple de deux ans qui lui inspire Moshi en 1972, album mêlant jazz et musiques africaines traditionnelles. Il disparaît à nouveau jusqu'à la fin des années 1970. En 1987 paraît la Note bleue, disque au succès mythique, sorti en même temps qu'une bande dessinée de Loustal et Paringaux inspirée de sa vie, et consacrant le retour au tout premier plan de ce musicien de niveau international. Barney Wilen 1958 Club St-Germain 1958. Barney Wilen & Miles Davis at The Club St Germain 1957. Club St Germain Parijs 1957: Barney Wilen (ts), (d), Miles Davis (tpt) Barney Wilen. Basically a tenor player, Wilen made his name when Miles Davis chose him to play in a group he was fronting in Europe in 1957. But Wilen had already garnered a reputation with visiting Americans for a considerably accomplished technique and a real mastery of hard-bop forms. The Fontana album is an early one, combining two film soundtrack scores: Un Temoin is curtailed to fit the purposes of the film, and the group never really get going, but Wilen and Dorham have a few nice moments. Jazz Sur Seine is more like a regular quartet date, with Jackson (on piano for once), Heath and Clarke. Most of the tunes are French jazz staples - a thoughtful `Nuages', a bright `Swing 39', and they finish on Monk's 'Epistrophy'. Wilen's subsequent visit to play at Newport in 1959 is commemorated by the Fresh Sound CD, although there's only 20 minutes of music from that occasion: Akiyoshi plays exuberant bebop piano in support and Wilen's even, supple tenor works patiently and impressively through `Passport' and `Barney's Tune', with what was then a rare appearance of the soprano on "Round Midnight', in which his tonal control is impressive. Two other tracks of unclear date find him with Powell (very subdued), Terry and Clarke; Wilen's solo on `No Problem' is typically artful - since the recording is subject to some vagaries of balance, he seems to emerge from the shadows here. There is also another "Round Midnight' with a German rhythm section. The sound is very mixed throughout but it's listenable enough. Wilen's contract for IDA helped create a comeback for a fine musician. In the 1980s he tinkered with jazz-rock and African rhythms (he went to live in Africa in the late 1960s) and his return to a bop-inflected style has something of the full-circle maturity which came to in his later work; Wilen's tenor sound does, indeed, have something of the magisterial sweep which Getz delivered, but the main character of his playing continues to lie in his even trajectory. His solos have a serene assurance which eschews dynamic shifts in favor of a single flowing line. With his tone still exceptionally bright and refined, it grants his playing a rare, persuasive power. La Note Bleue was a disappointing start, though, because the record is so bitty: what seem to be little fragments and codas from longer pieces are made into whole tracks, the material is dryly over-familiar, and the pieces are cut short before the group can get going. With Wilen perfectly adept at long solos, this foreshortening sounds wrong. French Ballads is better, although some of the playing again seems proscribed, and Wilen dispatches a few of the themes with a too casual finesse. Wild Dogs Of The Ruwenzori finally establishes his second wind: it's beautifully programmed, with straight-ahead swingers, hints of calypso rhythm and a few deftly understated fusion pulses setting a delightful variation in tempos The title-tune and 'Pauline Extended' bond Wilen's solos into a tight electronic framework, but his latest reflections on Rollins in `Little Lu' and the two versions of `Oh Johnny' are flawlessly paced and delivered. The rhythm section does well on all three records. BARNEY WILEN and FLAVIO AMBROSETTI. his b/w picture was taken in Bologna (ITALY) 1961 by Riccardo Schwamenthal. BARNEY WILEN original photo 1961. 1960 and shows BARNEY WILEN tenor sax with BUD POWELL piano, JAXQUES HESS bass, ART TAYLOR drums. This b/w picture was taken by Riccardo Schwamenthal in Milano (Italy) Sanctuary continued Wilen's good run. Catherine switches between acoustic and electric instruments and Wilen chooses classical rapture or firm, propulsive lines depending on the tempo. Danielsson's third voice is immensely rich and apposite. One might pick out the absolutely lovely reading of `How Deep Is The Ocean', but there's scarcely a weak moment on the record. Wilen is still in great voice here. Perhaps Waldron isn't an ideal choice, since his usual impassive stance dries out some of these romantic melodies to the point of desiccation: 'Les Paraplegias De Cherbourg' sounds like a dirge at the start. But it pays off over the long haul, with a powerful `Autumn Leaves' and a still, serene, ominous treatment of two of the `Lift to the Scaffold' themes. The saxophonist breaks new melodies and ideas out of all this material and, though he sounds tired at some points, it adds to his gravitas. A certain waywardness crept into Wilen's playing; while it subverts some of the sax-meets-rhythm expectations, it isn't always comfortable. The duet with Jean-Marie comes from a 1991 festival appearance: Wilen sounds rusty on `Latin Alley' and the exposed format doesn't always suit him, but the long, serpentine lines of `No Problem' and `Afternoon In Paris' have all his old mastery. His tone on tenor is taking on a foggy side which sounds even more pronounced on the rare baritone outing on `Blues Walk' from New York Romance. This is one of several albums Wilen has recorded for the Japanese Venus label, this one then being licensed to Sunnyside. Compared to the supersharp rhythm section, Barney sounds a little bleary here and there, and his imprecision isn't always beneficial: the rather taut and wound-up `You'd Be So Nice To Come Home To' is disappointing. But the desolate soprano outing on `Cry Me A River', with its wide dynamic contrasts, and an unexpectedly slow and bleak `Mack The Knife' show his powers as yet undimmed. His passing in 1996 was another sad loss. He died May 25, 1996 in Paris, France. Barney Wilen Bologna (ITALY) 1961. This b/w picture was taken by Riccardo Schwamenthal in Bologna (ITALY) 1961.

Bernard Jean Wilen, dit Barney Wilen (1937-1996), né d'une mère française et d'un père américain, est considéré comme " le seul ténor européen susceptible de concurrencer les maîtres américains ". Sur les encouragements de Blaise Cendrars, il commence à se produire dans les clubs de Nice, avant de monter à Paris à l'âge de seize ans. Quatre ans plus tard, musicien prodige, il participe aux mythiques sessions d'enregistrement pour le film de Louis Malle, Ascenseur pour l'échafaud, orchestrées par Miles Davis. Bamey Wilen se produit à Saint-Germain-des-Prés avec les vedettes du be-bop comme Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey et Bud Powell, à Nice avec Stan Getz et Curtis Fuller, et enregistre avec des artistes comme , Milt Jackson et Flavio Ambrosetti. Après s'être retiré en pleine gloire, il réapparaît en précurseur du free jazz européen et s'ouvre à l'influence de la pop music, définissant ainsi les principes du free jazz rock. En 1987 paraît La Note bleue (Grand Prix de l'Académie Charles Cros), disque à succès sorti en même temps qu'une bande dessinée de Loustal et Paringaux inspirée de sa vie. Yves Buin signe ici la toute première biographie consacrée à Barney Wilen. Biographie de l'auteur Yves Buin est notamment l'auteur de Thelonious Monk (Le Castor Astral) et " Free at Last in Treize morts d'Albert Ayler (Gallimard). Romancier et essayiste, nombre de ses titres de l'ivres font directement référence au jazz. Spécialiste de jack Kerouac il a établi et présenté l'édition Sur la route et autres romans (Gallimard) et publié les biographies Jack Kerouac et Céline (Gallimard). Barney et la note bleue. Barney ? L’un de ces astres que la musique ne nous offre qu’avec parcimonie – un ou deux par génération, pas davantage. Lui est un météore, une étoile filante: saxophoniste génial, jazzman plus qu’inspiré, Barney sidère tout ceux qui croisent sa route, tant il possède à l’excès cette forme de grâce innée qui n’appartient qu’aux très grands. Mais la vie est cruelle. Barney, le sorcier de la note bleue, est aussi un instable, un insatisfait, qui traverse le monde et les événements comme si sa propre existence ne le concernait pas. Sa trajectoire sera aussi fugace qu’éblouissante : de l’Afrique jusqu’à l’Amérique en passant par Paris, le quotidien de Barney se consume dans la drogue et les amours sans issue. Salut l’artiste, plus dure sera la chute… Initialement publié au milieu des années 80 et désormais proposé dans une nouvelle édition, Barney et la Note Bleue est l’une des plus brillantes créations du tandem Loustal – Paringaux. Poignant comme un thème de Charlie Mingus, scintillant comme un chorus de Miles Davis. Impérissable, à l’instar de tous les vrais classiques. Les Chroniques BDGest. Barney et la note bleue.
