## Description

Product description          Includes original case, booklet, and disc.             .com          Patricia Barber has made enough breakout albums to be brought up on charges. Her career, not to mention her music, has been like a giant rainbow arcing eternally upward with bursts of bright giddy colors and dark moody tones. But like her last album, Nightclub, and before that Companion and Modern Cool, this is the one that will bring her a bigger audience. The difference here is that this is the singer-pianist's first album of all original songs. With Dave Douglas dancing his trumpet around her witty and literate tales, these 10 scholarly vignettes are reminiscent of the way the great Cole Porter educated his listeners while thoroughly twisting the English language in an irresistibly entertaining way. "I Could Eat Your Words" is about philosophy, cooking, and falling in love with your college professor. In it she somehow can "suck the salt from erudition, drink remorse like a cabernet, sweeten with equivocation" and still swing. Many singers would still be stuck on "erudition" while Barber--all sly, darkly slick, and witty--continues to compose from a high artistic perch. Mentioning David Hockney, Edward Hopper, and Goya in the text of "If I Were Blue," and Baudelaire in "You've Gotta Go Home," ain't no easy trick. --Mark Ruffin

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excelente!
*by C***N on June 12, 2024*

Patricia B. es garantía de calidad y experiencia auditiva!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Patricia does it again
*by 4***W on July 4, 2012*

Really, it is no surprise that this is the finest recording that I own. It was by Patricia Barber. I have never owned an album of hers that disappointed in either the recording or the performance. If I had to choose a track to skip, it would be the first track. Too 'beatniky' for me. The rest of the album is a better tale. Can only praise the recording, the musicians, and the ability to drop my jaw. It really is that good. I have never owned a GAIN 2 recording, so it could have been just another marketing thing. But in fact, the GAIN process helps insure that ambient sound is improved to the point that it sounds perfectly natural, and not processed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent must have for audiophiles
*by J***R on March 15, 2009*

It would be best to refer you to the 4.5 star AMG review of this album by Matt Collar on [...]I agree with his review completely and could not describe it better.However, what Matt does not mention is the superb audio quality of this recording and the excellent arrangements and musicianship.This is an absolute sonic treat best enjoyed on a quality stereo system.I own nearly 1,000 CDs from Megadeth to Rebecca Pidgeon, and recordings of this quality are rare to find.So that combined with the refreshingly different arrangements make this is an Avant-Garde Jazz album worthy of 5 stars IMHO.
