Album Review: Barney Goin’ Easy / Just Another Dream by Barney Bigard And His Orch Barney Bigard, the legendary clarinetist, brings his smooth swing to Barney Goin’ Easy / Just Another Dream, a jazz gem released under Parlophone in the UK. This record feels like a warm cup of tea on a rainy afternoon—familiar but still full of surprises. With just two tracks, it doesn’t overstay its welcome, and honestly, that’s part of its charm. Let’s dive into why this little slice of swing deserves your attention. First up is “Barney Goin’ Easy.” Man, does this track groove. From the opening notes, you’re hit with that classic swing rhythm that makes your shoulders bounce without even thinking about it. Bigard’s clarinet dances through the mix, light as air, while the band locks into a tight pocket. It’s not flashy or overdone—it’s just… easy. Like the title says, Barney’s going easy here, letting the music breathe. The interplay between the horns and rhythm section is so natural, it feels like they’re all hanging out in the same room, jamming for fun. You remember this one because it’s impossible not to smile while listening. It’s got that effortless vibe that only the best jazz can pull off. Then there’s “Just Another Dream.” If the first track is a sunny stroll, this one’s more like twilight—softer, dreamier, with a hint of melancholy. The tempo slows down, giving Bigard space to really stretch out on his clarinet. He plays these long, flowing lines that feel like they’re telling a story, and you find yourself leaning in to catch every note. The arrangement has this lush, almost cinematic quality, like something out of an old black-and-white movie. It sticks with you because it’s understated yet deeply emotional. You don’t need lyrics to feel what he’s saying. What’s wild about this album is how much personality shines through in such a short runtime. These aren’t just songs—they’re moments. Listening to them feels like stepping back in time, catching a glimpse of a smoky London club where everyone’s dressed sharp and living for the music. So yeah, Barney Goin’ Easy / Just Another Dream might not be some grand epic, but maybe that’s the point. Sometimes, less is more. And hey, isn’t it kinda poetic that the guy who made “Barney Goin’ Easy” also gave us “Just Another Dream”? Almost like life itself—some days are breezy, others leave you lost in thought. Who knew two tracks could say so much?
