Zodiac

"Zodiac" is a captivating journey through the cosmos of jazz, as envisioned by the legendary Barney Wilen. Originally released in 1966 and now restored and remastered from Wilen's personal copy, this album is a unique blend of French jazz, free jazz, and hard bop, all wrapped up in a cosmic exploration of the zodiac signs. Each of the 12 tracks is dedicated to a different sign, offering a playful yet serious-minded musical journey through the astrological chart. The album was initially intended to accompany a surrealistic animated film by Wilen's friend Jean Larivière, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the project. The cover art, with its satirical take on the zodiac, hints at the playful spirit within. This limited edition release, pressed on vinyl and limited to 1,000 copies, is a testament to Wilen's enduring legacy and his innovative approach to jazz. Whether you're a jazz aficionado or a curious explorer of the cosmos, "Zodiac" promises a unique and engaging listening experience.
