The powerful voice and swinging trombone of Dan Barnett were previously only heard live around Australia until his 2000 debut album - ‘The Right Track’. Overflowing with great music, ‘The Right Track’ features a tight swinging quintet and a hard-hitting, grooving, big band. From the swinging big band sound of the title track, to the fabulous vocal gymnastics of Love Is Just Around The Corner, and the super cool treatment of the classic Black Orpheus, this CD showcases the many talents of Dan Barnett together with some of Australia’s best players. One of the country’s premier crooners, Dan Barnett caresses the lyrics of Ellington’s I Ain’t Got Nothing But The Blues and the boys in the band back him up big time – including a great Don Rader trumpet solo. My Kind Of Girl and Tain’t What You Do are also given the Barnett “business” with sax solos from Brad Child and Nicholas B Hempton. One Note Samba was arranged by Chuck Morgan and on this track he demonstrates why he continues to set the standard for superior guitar work. The roll call of talent on The Right Track also includes John Morrison, Graham Hilgendorf, Peter DiLosa, Daryl Carthew, Ben Gurton, Andrew “Jock” Robertson, Brad Child, Ralph Franke, Peter Locke, Steve Arie, Shane Cranney and a special performance on bass by Dan’s father Cliff Barnett.
