Alan Barnes has been one of the leading stars of the British jazz scene for many years, finding recognition both in the UK and on the other side of the Atlantic—where he has also recorded for the Concord Jazz label. His tenures with Tommy Chase and Humphrey Littleton alone have ensured his place at the top table of British jazz.
YEAH! consists of compositions by Horace Silver performed by Barnes in a world-class quintet. It is an energetic and virtuoso lesson in how to play hard bop, and although recorded in 2005, it remains one of his own favourite sessions.
