Of course, for 15 years now, Barber has been something of an Ella Fitzgerald meets the madwoman-in-the-attic, a sheen of peerless respectability masking an uncompromising taste for the respectfully subversive. With 's seminal Mythologies , Barber took the Guggenheim and ran with it, planting one foot in Ovid and the other in Harlem.
Here, her unflappable taste for danger takes her deep into the Porter oeuvre. But in Barber's hands, every old familiar lyric takes on new and usually devious entendre. Delivered in her heavily honeyed timbre, shopworn standards like "I Get a Kick Out of You" with its new chord structure and "You're the Top" with its new lyrics suggest the fecund extra layers that their titles--generously interpreted--imply.
As usual, Barber's top-notch band delivers a flawless performance. If the arrangements lean a bit heavily on the sax, it's because one doesn't record with Chris Potter and not give the guy some breathing room. Despite the self-admitted "hubris" involved in including her own material amidst this most canonical set list, the gamble pays off check out the incomparable "Snow".

Chicago-based Barber has a voice that caresses and challenges and cajoles and taunts and teases every nuance of meaning from each ambiguous syllable". The Guardian "Even a casual listener would soon be won over by her seductive voice, her forceful soloing and, not least, her immaculate quartet arrangements".
The Times "The most fearless, most intellectually stimulating and, by extension, most interesting singer-songwriterpianist on the American jazz scene. The Cole Porter Mix not only spotlights her artful interpretations of Porter's songs but also features three Porter-inspired originals. Barber plays piano throughout as well as contributes melodica colours to some tunes, including her gem, "The New Year's Eve Song," that closes the album. Older Posts Home. Subscribe to: Posts Atom.
