Patricia Barber: Mythologies

Read "Mythologies" reviewed by Hrayr Attarian


Poetry and music are two peas in a pod. For the past two millennia the Roman poet Ovid has inspired artists of all kinds, from poets and playwrights to filmmakers and musicians. Most recently, his timeless tales served as an inspiration to Patricia Barber, who is an accomplished musician and a poet in her own right. ...

Patricia Barber: Mythologies

Read "Mythologies" reviewed 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 ...

Patricia Barber: Mythologies

Read "Mythologies" reviewed by Jim Santella


In much the same way that a visual artist paints memorable themes on canvas, Patricia Barber puts her ideas into music by establishing an open avenue of communication with her audience. Her voice is always a pleasure. Her piano work is comfortable in the context of her role as storyteller. Her compositions are deep enough that ...

Patricia Barber: Live: A Fortnight in France

Read "Live: A Fortnight in France" reviewed by Woodrow Wilkins


The mere mention of a woman speaking French is enough to set many men's imaginations to wandering. If she's singing it, and has a pleasant voice to boot, the listener--male or female--can't help but smile. Although Patricia Barber only offers Français on one track of her latest album, Live: A Fortnight in France , it is ...

Patricia Barber: A Fortnight in France

Read "A Fortnight in France" reviewed by Dr. Judith Schlesinger


Patricia Barber has always been edgy, iconoclastic, and daring, and she has committed the cardinal sin of insisting on creative control of her product. After seven albums on her own label (Premonition) or in cooperation with Blue Note, this is the first to be released exclusively by the latter. Not coincidentally, her music is ...

Read "A Fortnight In France" reviewed by Jim Santella

Patricia Barber: Complete; Not Complacent

Read "Patricia Barber: Complete; Not Complacent" reviewed by R.J. DeLuke


It's good to be Patricia Barber these days. The singer/pianist with the deep, winsome voice admittedly in a good place, getting gigs, getting recognition, amassing a following that, while not Diana Krall-ish in number, is strong and growing. And she's about to release a new CD on Blue Note, comprised of virtually all original music (one ...

Patricia Barber Connects the Arts

Read "Patricia Barber Connects the Arts" reviewed by AAJ Staff


By Carolyn Graye The longer I work in and around the arts, the more convinced I am that for many artists, the lives and careers they create for themselves are as interesting as the actual work they produce. I like to think about it in terms of the Zen parable in which the journey, not the ...
