Faith Gibson: Shooting for the Big Moon
by Esther Berlanga-Ryan
Jazz vocalists have struggled through the years to make room for their contributions to the art of improvisation that appear effortless. Their voices are their instrument, an instrument that has to compete with tenor saxophones, drum kits or trumpets; an instrument whose strength rests in the necessity humanity has to communicate with others.

by George Kanzler
The mix here is a Cole Porter cocktail, a dry martini but with a touch of jalapeno instead of olive.

Patricia Barber: The Cole Porter Mix
by Dr. Judith Schlesinger

Patricia Barber: Mythologies
by AAJ Italy Staff
E' un mare denso e scuro quello in cui si arrotola il pianoforte sensuale di Patricia Barber in apertura di questo sontuoso Mythologies. Con i gabbiani evocati dalla chitarra elettrica di Neal Alger pronti a gridare nel vento. Il tema dell'album è quello della rilettura in chiave moderna delle Metamorfosi di Ovidio e la cantante pianista ...
