Factory Sealed, Out Of Print 2004 2LP 200gm SV-P Original Housed In A Deluxe Heavy-Duty Gatefold Cover. Over The Years, Songwriter, Pianist, And Vocalist Patricia Barber Has Steadfastly Remained True To Her Quirky, Left-Of-Center Jazz Vision, Which Includes Equal Parts Edgy Pop And Rock. Barber Has A Fluid, Restlessly Individualistic Style On The Piano; She Can Hold Her Own With Anybody. Her Songwriting Comes From That Particular Space Where The Notes And Rhythms Begin To Bleed Into One Another And Come Out Jagged, Sophisticated, And Full Of Poetic Wit And Steely Philosophical Insight About The Ironies Of Modern Life. This Set Was Recorded In Three French Cities, Paris, Metz, And La Rochelle. Utilizing Her Longstanding Band (Bassist Michael Arnopol, Drummer Eric Montzka, And Guitarist Neal Alger), Barber Displays In Spades The Skill Of This Band To Improvise, Swing, And Cut Across Musical Lines On Five Originals And Five Covers. Unlike Most Live Records, This Is A Welcome Chapter In The Barber Book, With Surprises, Risky Behavior, And Top-Flight Musicianship.
