patricia barber

.i wish i would have known they she / they were there i would have loved to have heard her / them..her sacds are great..i only live about 1 hr away...how did you know about her being there? i am an alumnus but did not see anything in our magazine about it..

One of the acts I hope to see in the near future.

a friend email me, dukeedu website click on calender....i hope this helps, i am not very good with the computer.....if not, i guess google duke university events....i was so excited, i had front row seats with four of my buddies who all like her music,her band , ofcourse are just outstanding, such individualism in their playing, yet united as a group...just outstanding.....i was very fortunate....instead of doing a vast array of her stuff, she did the mythology album....hope this helps....dwhitt

I've heard the Barber quartet a dozen times now, most recently last week at Yoshi's SF (she played their 9' Hamburg Steinway), and was once again struck by the consummate musicianship and friendly collaboration that is obvious as they play together. Audiophiles often dig Patricia because many of her recordings are sonically superb, but people, if you have a chance to hear her live, go for it. Her drummer and bass player (Michael Arnopol, who has played with her since the 1980's) are virtuosos on their instruments. I also highly recommend her most recent CD--a tribute to Cole Porter that is just a musical pleasure.

Just checked her web site. I'm going to schedule a trip to Chicago to check her out at the Green Mill where she plays frequently.
