Patricia Barber - Smash SACD Hybrid CD/SACD MFSL Original Master Recording

AN INSTANT AUDIOPHILE CLASSIC: WHISPER-SOFT TRANSIENTS, ACOUSTIC DIMENSIONS, AND IMAGING WITH UTMOST DETAIL AND PRECISION Accessible and complicated, alluring and challenging, sensuous and liberating, Patricia Barber's Smash once and for all confirms the pianist/singer exists in an elevated artistic plane reached by none of her generational peers. Four years in the making, and the beloved musician's first studio record since 2008, her Concord Records debut defies expectations and crystallizes her status as a preeminent songwriter. Informed by personal episodes of significant loss and yearning, the album masterfully unites harmony and melody via uncommon delicacy, tonal intimacy, and ethereal surrealism. It will likely stand as 2013's finest jazz effort, an instant classic.
