 "... With Von Barlow’s cool groove on drums, Lawrence Buckner’s brilliant bass playing, with Zack Chester’s thoughtful comping on piano, Longineu delivered memorable solos on Wayne Shorter’s foreboding Armageddon and other tasty pieces. Longineu’s vast repertoire of music includes many different modes, styles, and moods. He is a well known Satchmo (Louis Armstrong) impressionist and he sings with bluesy intensity. Longineu can get funky when the spirit moves him. Music aside, Longineu is my friend of over twenty years. I’ve always respected his pursuit of music as intellectual study. However, he is not a musical snob. He can get down and dirty. More significantly, Longineu never forgets his street savvy roots as he explores the higher spiritual consciousness of music.
It seems whenever there is quality jazz being played anywhere in the region, my friend Von Barlow is playing drums. His mastery of playing the drums as a refined musical instrument goes far beyond percussion. For years, I’ve lauded Von Barlow as the best drummer in any genre on the planet. But with Tribal Disorder, he shines, making his drums sing notes as well as percussive tones. Von Barlow plays drums like Longineu plays trumpet, with great skill and musical savvy based on his many years of playing with the stars of jazz, too numerous to mention. He is a major dude’s major dude. Check out Von Barlow’s new website www.vonbarlow.com..." READ THE FULL ARTICLES AT:
