His debut, from 1976; emerging from the tutelage of Gary Burton. Lovely, out-in-the-wide-open Americana Jazz, with dazzlingly lithe bass-playing by Jaco Pastorius. Bob Moses nails it, too. It’s never sounded better than in this iteration as part of the Luminessence Series. Hang about for the Ornette cover, wrapping things up.

‘The double bassist says this will be his last solo album, the final chapter of his Journal Violone. It is a beautiful and moving musical statement. All the qualities we associate with Barres playing are here in abundance: questing adventurousness, melodic invention, textural richness, developmental logic and deep soulfulness.’

The group’s repertoire includes material from the trumpeter/flugelhornist’s early recording Enrico Rava Quartet (1978), and Wild Dance (2015), plus a rendition of Once Upon A Summertime — the English version of Michel Legrand’s La valse des lilas — as well as the universally known Cuban song Quizás, Quizás, Quizás.’
