BARNEY WILEN’S MOTHER  WAS  FRENCH,  HIS  FATHER  A  SUCCESSFUL  AMERICAN
DENTIST - TURNED - INVENTOR  - -  HE  GREW  UP  MOSTLY  ON  THE  FRENCH  RIVIERA ...
THE  FAMILY  LEFT  DURING  WORLD  WAR  II  BUT  RETURNED   UPON  ITS  CONCLUSION.
ACCORDING  TO  WILEN  HIMSELF,   HE  WAS  CONVINCED  TO  BECOME  A  MUSICIAN  BY
HIS  MOTHER’S  FRIEND, THE POET  BLAISE CENDRARS. . . AS A TEENAGER HE STARTED A
YOUTH  JAZZ  CLUB  IN  NICE, WHERE HE PLAYED OFTEN.  HE  MOVED  TO  PARIS  IN  THE
MID-’50s   AND  WORKED  WITH  SUCH  AMERICAN  MUSICIANS  AS  BUD  POWELL,  BENNY
GOLSON,  MILES DAVIS,  AND  J. J.  JOHNSON  AT  THE CLUB ST. GERMAIN.  HIS  EMERGING
REPUTATION   RECEIVED  A  BOOST  IN  1957  WHEN   HE   PLAYED   WITH   DAVIS   ON   THE
SOUNDTRACK TO THE  LOUIS MALLE  FILM  “LIFT TO THE SCAFFOLD”  ASCENSEUR POUR
L'ECHAFAUD). TWO YEARS LATER, HE PERFORMED WITH ART BLAKEY AND THELONIOUS
