In Your Dreams (All compositions by Barry Wedgle) Exit Records #1007 Recorded in Cascade, the Rocky Mountains, Colorado in 2000 . A thoughtfully conceived project, this CD was produced by Kim Stone (bass player with The Rippingtons and Spyro Gyra) and features sublime vocals by Anne Kennedy which give Barry Wedgle's original compositions extra depth and special feeling. This is Exit Records' most commercial CD to date with a smooth Latin tone which will appeal to any listener.

Like many players who grew-up in the sixties & later moved into jazz, Barry was greatly influenced by Jimi Hendrix. But between Jimi & jazz, Barry listened to and mastered many different styles to be categorized. For example, his flamenco playing was good enough to tour extensively in Spain, Mexico, Central & South America. for people who know the real deal. When he first hit New York he spent considerable time jamming and running around the city with another player, Pat Metheny. He returned to Denver to record his first album, Kake, featuring Collin Walcott, Paul McCandless & Jay Clayton. When other artists heard him they remembered the frizzy haired, out going guitarist. Harry Belafonte flew him to Toronto for a concert. Allen Ginsberg asked him to accompany readings. Taj Mahal invited him on stage at New Morning, in Paris. He recorded at Mount Fuji with the popular Japanese Rolling Club Band. Wedgle's real love has remained jazz, and he's paid his dues to establish himself in that form, touring through Europe with Sam Rivers and Steve Lacy, having done three recordings with Steve and maintaining both a duo-concert & recording relationship. Bouncing between Europe, the U.S., Japan and South America, Barry continues gigging and recording with other top shelf performers, Mal Waldron, John Hicks, and Joe Lee Wilson, to name a few. What kind of guitar does Barry Wedgle play? A lot of guitar. Rather than waste your time with a pile of adjectives extolling his qualities, I suggest you listen for a while and enjoy. David Aronson Jazz Hot Paris, France Comments and Press Reviews "Jazz guitarist Barry Wedgle has wondered the globe in his quest to forge a solo style unlike any other".
