Barbara Strieisand "Live at the Bon Soir" 1962


Currently streaming this on Qobuz in 96/24 bit and it is a stunning recording and concert. Barbara is incredible and her jazz instincts and abilities are quite impressive-and her quartet band swings big time too.

So many glorious renditions she pulls off with such ease and perfection. " Lover, Come Back to Me" is a revelatory example of this. Her take on " Happy Days are Here Again" is really a superlative and almost melancholy rendition that is quite moving-an almost a perfect song for the moment.

I do hope this one gets a audiophile vinyl and maybe even a SACD release.

Babs earliest recordings is a reminder that she had a voice that maybe is in the league of the greats during the 50-60's.

My parents were HUGE fans during here peak years. I'm not a fan, but she can sing any American Songbook tune as good as the others.

 

I punch in Barbara Strieisand on Qobuz and nothing comes up. I've had more trouble finding things there. God forbid if you misspell something you'll never find it.
