{"product_id":"modern-cool-1","title":"Modern Cool","description":"Amazon.com\n\nChicago pianist and vocalist Patricia Barber is making lots of ears burn. Her torch song touch speaks volumes to jazz vocal fanatics, but she has an adventuresome side that speaks likewise to fans of woollier jazz. Barber's vocal delivery is swaggering and burnished, always angling against oddball time signatures and often dropping weird lyrical science. From e.e. cummings poems, Barber moves into prescient observations on our society: \"For company in the 21st century,\" she sings, \"I go to the club, talk through the show \/ I'm so hip there's nothing about jazz \/ That I don't know.\" Trumpeter Dave Douglas and guitarist John McLean add a sharp edge, and the Choral Thunder Vocal Choir give Modern Cool soul-drenched dynamics that push the CD into the realm of instant classics. --Andrew Bartlett\n\nReview\n\nBarber mixes Cassandra Wilson's spare stylings and k.d. lang's suave genre play with smart originals... -- Entertainment Weekly\n\n[Barber's] compositions are intelligent observations of modern urban life, beginning with \"Touch of Trash,\" a portrait of a perfectly made up woman who's \"just a culture short of class\". Barber's voice is sultry and appealing, a perfect mesh with her subject matter. -- Jazz Times\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00000K3BE\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B00000K3BE.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Barber, Patricia\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
