>Love the Patricia Barber recording!!
Isn't that something? I find it very unusual and very creative. I first heard Patricia Barber in Chicago (where she still lives, I believe) back in the early 80's. Her piano playing and her singing both really impressed me. I don't know of anyone else with such great skills in both areas, and her ability to sing very high in a way that works in a jazz context was one of a kind. She used to have a regular gig at the Gold Star Sardine Bar in Chicago, which is now closed (http://www.seanparnell.com/Bar%20Reviews/Gone/GoldStarSardineBar/GoldStarSardin\ eBar.htm), but she still performs regularly at the Green Mill Cocktail Lounge on Broadway at Lawrence. http://www.seanparnell.com/Bar%20Reviews/GreenMill/GreenMill.htm
