COMMENTS AND PRESS REVIEWS
"Barry Wedgle has again shifted expectations, and has produced one of his most important musical statements to date." Paradise#1014 Nick Lea 2004
"Jazz guitarist Barry Wedgle has wondered the globe in his quest to forge a solo style unlike any other".
Nancy Motsumoto, The Magazine, Tokyo, Japan, Dec, 88.
"The first poly-free guitar player. The most interesting of the decade".
Steve Lacy 1985
"Barry Wedgle has a rare combination of many styles".
Roveretto Daily, Roveretto, Italy 1983
"A guitarist of illuminating solos". 1985
Loic Chaveau, Montpelier, France
"Strange and iridescent. Acoustic Spanish jazz guitar strung
between a boudin (drum) and a egil (3 string gypsy violin)
with shamanic vocals and throat singing intermixed - this
incredible CD is beyond description and very, very good." Country and Eastern#1006 Brett Simpson 2004
"Veteran Barry Wedgle puts his own twist on the guitar combo session format by concentrating on acoustic rather than electric guitar. The acoustic gives his sound a human urgency that's a welcome contrast to the glibness of so many mainstream electric guitarists." Paradise#1014 David Dupont 2004
