Patricia Barber - Modern Cool (1998/2024) [Official Digital Download]

The pianist and vocalist Patricia Barber is one of the most famous greats of modern jazz today. With this album, she inspired not only fans of jazz singing, but also followers of more earthy jazz. Her voice is intoxicating and performs feats that you would not have expected on an album with such catchy tracks. Patricia Baber moves from classical poems, for example by E.E. Cummings, to exciting observations of modern society.

Of particular interest is certainly the title Company with its lyric line 'For Company in the 21st Century, I like lots of MTV'. Trumpeter Dave Douglas and the guitarist John McLean, already known from Café Blue, give Barber's enchanting voice a solid counterpoint and the Choral Thunder Choir provides almost incredible dynamics. The follow-up album to Café Blue finally established Barber as a serious figure in the jazz business and at the same time made it clear that she did not intend to be put in musical drawers.
