Barn Jams are a series of instrumental pieces written by Pink Floyd guitarist, David Gilmour and performed by him and the core members of his 2006 On an Island Tour band, Guy Pratt on bass, Richard Wright on keyboards and Steve DiStanislao on drums.[1][2][3][4] The sessions were recorded and filmed in a barn at Gilmour's home in Sussex, over a week in January 2007.[1][4][5] It is unknown how many pieces exist, although Gilmour himself, in a bonus interview within the second DVD of his 2008 release Live in Gdańsk, claims that he and guitarist Phil Manzanera (who co-produced the On an Island album) recorded and catalogued "close to 200" jams.[6] Three tracks were released as part of the Live in Gdańsk 4-disc edition, deluxe edition and vinyl edition; one was released on Remember That Night (2007) and four more were released on the deluxe edition of Gilmour's 2015 Rattle That Lock album.[5] Wright's recording will appear on Gilmour's upcoming album, Luck and Strange.[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] The Barn Jams are the last released recordings made by Richard Wright before his death in 2008.[4]
