SFRAGMENTS:* Notes on Barbara Sfraga's CD Party/Love-In
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger
One of the primo advantages of living near New York Cityï"aside from having a front seat at the Rudy and Hillary showï"is the infinite range of jazz venues. I've climbed up to the boxes in Carnegie Hall and the nosebleed seats at the Y, and down the vertical steps to the underground Village Vanguard. I've been ...
Barbara Sfraga: Under the Moon
by Elliott Simon
Singer Barbara Sfraga's sophomore effort draws from the artist's strength: retooling well-worn classics into lean arrangements that highlight her mastery of phrasing and rhythm. Although guitarist John McLean adds a bit of spice to several cuts, Sfraga is most at home riffing off her rhythm section that includes drummer Paul Wertico, percussionist Kevin Patrick and bassist ...

Barbara Sfraga is one of those rare artists who is developing her own voice and style more and more with each recording.

Matched with a floor-length, flowing skirt, her long blonde curls, and a hint of sparkle, she looked like a fairy princess. Her new exposure was ...

by Franz A. Matzner
In most cases standards either serve as magnifying glasses, quickly revealing technical deficiencies, or as buoys offering support for performers gifted with technical skill but little creative ingenuity. In the rarest of cases, however, standards can act as reflecting pools for an artist’s full range of abilities, and such is the case with ...

Barbara Sfraga: Oh, What A Thrill

More Vocals. Gail Wynter's My Shining Hour and Jackie Allen's Which? precede Barbara Sfraga’s addition to the Naxos Jazz Vocal Jazz coffers. All of these vocal collections have their charm. All are quite different. Sfraga begins her disc in a most unorthodox way: by setting the Jerry Lee Lewis chestnut, “Great Balls of Fire” ...
