Remastered From The 24-Track Analog Master Tapes!
Includes 4 Previously Unissued Alternative Takes!

"It's a different Barney Wilen, a different saxophone identity, that resounds on French Ballads. How could it be otherwise? More confident and complex. More comfortable and in tune with the musical progress since the 1950s: one can hear it in the unrushed freedom of his playing, in the flurries and embellishments he adds. The melodies and lyrics were as familiar to jazz ears as they were to a mainstream audience. Many were associated wtih popular movies, and together all were sure to ring a bell of national pride. It's a challenge to stop listing favorite moments on French Ballads - discovering this music on one's own should be part of the delight." - Ashley Kahn
