"Every now and then an artist emerges whose vision is so unique that it creates an entirely new musical paradigm. Stretching the realm of technique by introducing harmonic or rhythmic contexts far removed from the norm, they're often unappreciated in their time, but the passage of years can ultimately bring recognition for their genius. Ornette Coleman was one such artist. Now we have singer Johnny "Bowtie" Barstow."
So says John Kelman back in 2005 on the allaboutjazz website. I assume those passage of years haven't yet reached fruition.
This comes from the album 'A Bowtie Christmas and More' and if you're 'unshackled by musical convention' and appreciate 'a truly emancipated harmonic approach' then you can enjoy other such Calendar favourites as 'O Come All Ye Faithful', 'Winter Wonderland' and 'Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer'.
