Patricia Barber - Café Blue coming soon

TRACKLIST:

Chicago pianist and vocalist Patricia Barber is making lots of ears burn. Her torch song touch speaks volumes to jazz vocal fanatics, but she has an adventuresome side that speaks likewise to fans of woollier jazz. Barber's vocal delivery is swaggering and burnished, always angling against oddball time signatures and often dropping weird lyrical science. From E.E. Cummings poems, Barber moves into prescient observations on our society: "For company in the 21st century," she sings, "I go to the club, talk through the show / I'm so hip there's nothing about jazz / That I don't know." Trumpeter Dave Douglas and guitarist John McLean add a sharp edge and the Choral Thunder Vocal Choir give Modern Cool soul-drenched dynamics that push the music into the realm of instant classics.

Patricia Barber - Nightclub

TRACKLIST:

This live recording of Patricia Barber has all the texture of her acclaimed studio recordings with Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's GAIN 2 mastering system capturing all the ambiance on this dual-layer hybrid SACD. And don't worry at all about the audience getting in the way of the music; the audience at Chicago's Green Mill, her hometown headquarters, was hushed with respect. MFSL's new version of this recent classic has been expanded with a charming closer, "You Are My Sunshine." It's a bit of a different sound for her as well, where she substitutes Hammond B-3 for piano on several tracks. Of course she let's her fellow musicians shine, in particular bassist Michael Arnopol and guitarist John McLean. The booklet also contains liner notes by Michael Fremer detailing engineer Jim Anderson's masterful approach. This is an essential companion to Barber's studio albums on MoFi: Modern Cool, Cafe Blue, and Nightclub.

Patricia Barber - Verse

QUOTE:

Patricia Barber resides in the vanguard of the new school of female jazz vocalists. It all began with Cafй Blue in 1994. It hit like something inexplicable, introducing a voice one critic described as "a pure dark whisper straight up from the soul" and a distinct on-stage persona that has been characterized as "a beat musician and a bop intellectual." Barber has been exploring intriguing improvisational terrain beyond classic balladry and bop-infused standards for the last decade. Each album is more ambitious than the last, taking her deeper into avant-garde territory both lyrically and instrumentally. Verse is no exception. Ms. Barber continues releasing albums combining her uncanny ability to stake new claims on contemporary tunes with her prowess for composing witty and gorgeous tunes of her own. This new MFSL hybrid-SACD reveals all the subtle details in her playing and her vocal interpretations. This one really places the listener in the studio with the band. Phenomenal!
