I just heard Patrica Barber in Cambudge tonight and was thoroughly dissapointed. I feel as though it is as contrived and shallow as Kenny G but in the opposite direction.
Yeah I don't type all that well at 2:30am after being subjected to an hour and a half of critically acclaimed Pseudo-Jazz. There are so many great singers and pianists out there that I see know reasonfor her popularity except for that Stereophile says her albums are well recorded. I sum up my experiences saying that she has the type of voice that makes you think she is singing the same note all the time and the only relief she could find from her own contrived one dimensional "hey look at me I'm Keith Jarrett (sans technique and harmonic invention)" piano stylings was to literally attack the string of the Steinway with her dinnerware. Pat, Cecil Taylor you are not. At least Britney Spears is good looking.......
If you are listening to music mostly beacause of the quality of the recording you may want to think about another hobby.
