Patricia Barber resides in the vanguard of the new school of female jazz vocalists. It all began with 1994's Café Blue, which hit like something inexplicable, introducing a voice one critic described as "a pure dark whisper straight up from the soul" and a distinct onstage persona that has been characterized as "a beat musician and a bop intellectual." 

Yes, Barber has been exploring intriguing improvisational terrain beyond classic balladry and bop-infused standards for the last decade. Each album is more ambitious than the last, taking her deeper into avant-garde territory both lyrically and instrumentally. Verse is no exception. Barber continues releasing albums combining her uncanny ability to stake new claims on contemporary tunes with her prowess for composing witty and gorgeous tunes of her own.

This now out-of-print MoFi Hybrid SACD reveals all the subtle details in Barber's playing and vocal interpretations. Mastered from the original master tapes and amazingly transparent, it places the listener in the studio with the band. Phenomenal!

"The way I was hearing the songs in my head had more to do with the guitar than the piano. In a loose way, Verse is a Patricia Barber homage to Joni Mitchell." – Patricia Barber
