Jazz for aficionados
This song and the album it is on, Cafe Blue, is often used by hi-fi enthusiasts to test out their sound systems . None of her songs on Youtube are in HD quality, so I'd thought I would upload a true representation of this album using the best song. Musically, it is very good as well! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi3i-HqDNFI&list=RDZi3i-HqDNFI |
pryso, sorry for not being clear. I didn’t think it was you that suggested they had similar styles; rather, the commentator you cited. I didn’t see nor hear the point of his comparison. And, yes, her playing posture is like Evans’; and much more animated overall than Evans who hardly moved when he played. Thanks again. O-10, thanks for that clip. Nice. |
Please all forgive me for my next comment, as I tend to speak only about the music that I like and not to discuss the other people different taste, but P.Barber gives me a such impression of 'unease',it is almost a physical feeling. I hear no 'flow' or 'spontaneity' in her music, its like her music is robbed of music itself. Again, please dont take it wrong, its just my impression, not a call for any confrotation |
No comparison intended nor appropriate, but Patricia Barber’s concert video caused me to think of this record. A bit of an acquired taste with her manipulation of pitch and deliberate alteration of the melody of a song, Betty Carter was a true original. SOTA rhythm section. I love this record: https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLr6i6H4_tzQUyV0NoxP1RT0m4cN9y9Nqn |
