Description
Patricia Barber is also a musical sensation. We hear the finest cool jazz with pop appeal, played by a fascinating singer and pianist, and a combo that is up to scratch
Recorded June 28th to July 1st 1994 in Chicago, USA
There have always been audiophile highlights in the history of the record, which quickly got around and were accordingly quickly out of print. So also in the case of the already legendary LP “Cafe Blue” by Patricia Barber, because here everything was just right: presentation, sound, pressing and interpretation, because Patricia Barber provides here also musically for enthusiasm. On four record sides we now hear finest Cool Jazz with pop appeal, played by a fascinating singer and pianist, and a combo with all the water washed
Sonically, this reissue, remastered from the original work tapes and pressed in the One Step process, is by far the best release of this title so far
Mastering by Kevin Gray at CoHearent Audio, California, USA. Pressed at RTI in the USA on 180g heavyweight, high quality VR900 Supreme vinyl. Limited to 5000 copies. Includes lavish booklet including new liner notes from Patricia Barber herself.
Reviews
“What has always appealed about Patricia Barber’s ‘Café Blue’ is the audiophile pleasure factor, and now the new ‘1Step’ vinyl reissue of the top album brings ‘ear-giastic’ highlights even to pampered high enders.” (Stereo, March 2021)
