The newest collection from our beloved Patricia Barber was recorded live in three venues during her 2004 European tour (L’Arsenal in Metz, La Coursive in La Rochelle and La Cigale in Paris). The album showcases the pianist/vocalist’s songwriting on five new originals and interpretive skills on "Laura," "Witchcraft," "Call Me," and "Norwegian Wood." As you would expect, the sonics are just as stunning as the performances. The bass playing of Michael Arnopol is incredible and recorded impeccably. Neil Alger’s guitar playing is his best work to date and really stands out in his solos. Drum work by Eric Montzka suits the band perfectly. Barber’s singing and playing are tremendous, and through her arrangements, allows the band to truly express themselves.
Follow Ups:
If you think that the cd is stunning, check out the dvd, it is out of this world and to see this band in action is fabulous.
I also like Patricia sense of humour, and the fact that she drinks Cognac.
I did not know that I'll put that on my list.
Also, The Pat Metheny Group's "The Way Up - Live" is musically, sonically, and visually stunning as well.
