PATRICIA BARBER CLASSIC ALBUM - VERSE GAIN 2™ Ultra Analog 180g Ltd. Ed. 2LP 45RPM BOXSET Order now for the lowest numbers! VERY LIMITED PRESSING! PATRICIA BARBER - VERSE 45RPM (2-DISC BOX) Mobile Fidelity is back...BIG TIME! One of the Most Incredible Sounding Female Vocal Recordings! Mobile Fidelity's new Re-Mastering Sounds Unbelievable at 45 RPM! This Very Limited-Edition Mobile Fidleity 2-LP Box Set of Patricia Barber - Verse Will Really Test the Limits of Your System! This Album Was an Homage to Joni Mitchell! Pianist/vocalist Patricia Barber is unique in today’s world of jazz. Each album is more ambitious than the last, taking her deeper into avant-garde territory both lyrically and instrumentally. Verse is no exception. Mobile Fidleity has done an amazing job with the original masters on Verse. The indelible track is "If I Were Blue," perhaps the best thing Barber has ever written - it could be considered serious modern poetry. Her voice is soft, almost matter-of-fact, and her voice seems especially suited to whispering torch songs cabaret-style, such as on "Dansons la Gigue." The intricate musical arrangements, augmented by the trumpet of Dave Douglas, help to solidify Barber's world of cloaked intentions, and Douglas' playful vibrato works like the flame of a candle illuminating her soft, shadowy corners. Don't miss this box set! Patricia Barber resides in the vanguard of the new school of female jazz vocalists. It all began with Café Blue in 1994. It hit like something inexplicable, introducing a voice one critic described as 'a pure dark whisper straight up from the soul' and a distinct onstage persona that has been characterized as 'a beat musician and a bop intellectual.' Barber has been exploring intriguing improvisational terrain beyond classic balladry and bop-infused standards for the last decade. Each album is more ambitious than the last, taking her deeper into avant-garde territory both lyrically and instrumentally. Verse is no exception. Ms. Barber continues releasing albums combining her uncanny ability to stake new claims on contemporary tunes with her prowess for composing witty and gorgeous tunes of her own. This new MoFi 45 RPM Audiophile 2LP set reveals all the subtle details in her playing and her vocal interpretations. This one really places the listener in the studio with the band. Phenomenal! 'The way I was hearing the songs in my head had more to do with the guitar than the piano. In a loose way, Verse is a Patricia Barber homage to Joni Mitchell.' – Patricia Barber We highly recommend keeping an extra sealed copy around!
