Experience
the versatility that has made this pianist a Northwest treasure.
Original compositions range from ballads like the title track, to the
funky "Big Alice." Classics like "Sweet Emma," "Show Me," and "Over the
Rainbow" are redefined through the talents of McClure, Jay Thomas,
Chuck Deardorf and Mike Buono. Add the percussion work of Ernesto
Pediangco on the Latin flavored "Summertime" and "Besame Inga," and the
album takes on an entirely new dimension. Not a Day Goes By
also
features a song from Steve Allen, "Everybody Seems to Know I Love You."

 This
album is a tour de force for jazz pianist Barney McClure accomplished
over a span of several years when his whirwind life permitted.
Accompanied by "bassist of choice" and friend Chuck Deardorf, this is a
compilation of some of Barney's finest compositions along with choice
selections from his favorite musical friends.
Barney's comments on
the title track really say it all: "My compositions reflect input from
many sources. From saxophonist Denney Goodhew, I have tried to leap off
the edge and soar magically and gracefully as he does naturally.
Vocalist Jan Stentz shows me there are no limits to melodic logic and
introspection. Sandy Bradley and the Small Wonder Big Band remind me
that music can be pure and fun, and Marley's Ghost showed me how to
create beauty with an open mind."
Truly a gem of a recording that is at
once simple and complex, provocative and imperturbable, inspired and
inspiring.
