Press Reviews AMG EXPERT REVIEW: Uncertain which genre gets top billing, this recording could be considered either folk-jazz or jazz-folk depending on one's perspective. What makes Celtic Tales unique is their implementation of the Irish (uilleann) pipes in a jazz combol more to jazz aficionados than folk purists. Joining LeBars is multi-instrumentalist Jean-Baptiste Bocle, who is proficient on several instruments. His organ playing resembles that of Jimmy Smith and on vibes, he's on par with Gary Burton -- who, incidentally, endorses Bocle's abilities. Additionally, his keyboard playing recalls Lyle Mays' work with Pat Metheny. In reference to his more straight-ahead jazz efforts, a Metheny sound (sans guitar) is present throughout Celtic Tales. Gildas Bocle's free jazz and post-bop acoustic bass playing is straight from the Charlie Haden and Gary Peacock school of jazz bass. ~ Dave Sleger
