Recommended if you like Grant Green, Kenny Burrell, John Scofield.
Long Ashes is the debut full length CD from Detroit guitarist John Barron. The disc is a culmination of two different trio sessions. One featuring the bluesy Mark Thibodeau on organ, and the other featuring in demand motown bassist Pat Prouty. Veteran Canadian drummer Kevin Venney anchors both trios. The result is 8 original compositions penned by Barron that cross into many territories of jazz while maintaining a strong sense of feel good - in the pocket grooves.
John's style of guitar playing has been described as a cross between jazz and blues. This is by no means accidental. Along with the influence of jazz guitar greats like Kenny Burrell, Wes Montgomery, and Grant Green, John also cites blues legends such as Albert King, and Johnny "Guitar" Watson as personal favorites.
John is a graduate of Wayne State University and keeps busy as a guitarist/bassist performing and teaching in and around Detroit Michigan. He has toured internationally with soul singer Bettye Lavette and Motown legends The Contours. Recording credits include blues/jazz vocalist Odessa Harris (The Easy Life), award winning latin jazz group Tumbao Bravo(Montuno Salad, Amigos: From Our Hands), and wrote four of the songs on the new CD by blues legend Alberta Adams (I'm on the Move) for Eastlawn records. John currently serves on the music faculty at the University of Windsor.Outside of music, John enjoys spending time with his wife and children (to whom this music is dedicated).(~~Vincent Kenwood)
