This is so wildly great that I can not think of any superlatives to describe the experience.

I have only recently discovered Patricia Barber and her beautiful quartet. I am seriously thinking of moving to Chicago to hear them live whenever they are in town.

Patricia is one brilliant performer/artist...It really doesn't get any better!

Yet, she is virtually ignored by the jazz media and jazz snobs. While on those very rare moments, they actually acknowledge her...it's very much like sarcastic and condescending envy. She is a true musicians, musician...yet somehow mystically accessible to the thinking/intelligent public at large.

She clearly is a master at finding the right players to share her passion...much like MIles and Coltrane.

Beautiful open version. You want a sitar hook? Just play it yourself in your brain - superimposed with Patricia's version - the whole point of jazz is to break barriers. Nobody in their right mind goes after French impressionists and accuses them of not painting reality. Same is true for jazz it gives you a different way of looking at the same tune. I only wish she quoted some Indian music in her solo - that would complete the circle.

[TheDarkGardener]

Perfect balance of subtlety and intensity. Mesmerizing!

[James C]

Actually , the more you listen, the better it gets . I'll have to refine my taste , I think...
