H. Watkins, Sr.  <\/font>    <\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Verdana\" size=\"2\">  This CD evokes the feelings and ambience of <i>being<\/i> in a Nightclub.  During her 20-year, six-album career vocalist \/ pianist <b>Patricia Barber<\/b> has gained an ever-growing amount of critical and commercial acclaim, and this CD shows why.  Once again featuring all-star accompaniment from bassist <b>Marc Johnson<\/b> and drummer <b>Adam Nussbaum<\/b>, <i>Nightclub<\/i> strings together 12 <i>standards<\/i> from an artist that has made her bones using original material. Barber&#8217;s vocal phrasing, rhythm, and timbre give the songs new meaning, new interpretation (see &#8220;Autumn Leaves&#8221; or &#8220;Summer Samba&#8221;.)<\/p>\n<p>    Not to be overlooked here are Barber&#8217;s improvisational skills, which also enhance the emotion and feeling of each track (see &#8220;So In Love&#8221; or &#8220;Bye Bye Blackbird&#8221;). Patricia plays not just with her fingers but with her heart because the music is in her blood&#8230;she is the daughter of Glenn Miller Orchestra saxophonist Floyd &#8220;Shim&#8221; Barber.  Being a dark-haired diva \/ pianist \/ vocalist, the comparisons to Diana Krall are inevitable, but the styles are miles apart. It is a credit to Patricia Barber&#8217;s talents that she&#8217;s willing to take on a CD of this nature rather than riding on the commercial success (and stylings) of other mainstream artists. Thoroughly enjoyable.  <\/font><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<p>    <?php require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . \"_footer.htm\");   ??><\/body><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nightclub Patricia Barber(Blue Note &#8211; 2001) \u00a0 by S.
