Patricia Barber, The Premonition Years:
1994-2002 chronicles Barber's 8 year association with the Chicago based
indy-label Premonition Records. This was a time when Barber did her
first real touring and led to her "discovery" on
a worldwide stage. These years defined Barber's career in many ways gaining
her the exposure and critical acclaim that solidified her place as one
of the most in demand and exciting female jazz vocalists working in jazz.
It was also a time when the buzz around Barber led Blue Note Records
to enter into a joint imprint relationship with Premonition for the licensing
rights to her releases, the first such agreement in the storied history
of Blue Note Records. This expansive boxed set -- her first retrospective
-- fully captures Barber's unique melange of modern pop, revered standards
and inventive originals. |
