Review

Mojo (Publisher) (p.106) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Barber and her quartet slow 'I Get A Kick Out Of You' to sensual languor and suffuse 'Miss Otis Regrets' with drama. 'You're The Top' gets a whimsical lyrical update..."

Review

Down Beat (p.69) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Barber puts her most personal stamp on a program that includes three fetching originals. Barber's take on Porter is definitive, her modern stance with standards still carrying a punch."
JazzTimes (p.58) - "[A]ugmenting the eight Porter gems covered here, Barber adds three of her own compositions, all intended to capture the Cole zeitgeist."

Pianist and vocalist Patricia Barber has been both criticized and lauded for her unconventional approach to jazz. While cutting a record of standards entitled THE COLE PORTER MIX may seem like Barber's bid for mainstream acceptance, it is anything but. Instead, the artist takes well-worn Porter tunes like "Easy to Love," "I Get a Kick Out of You," and "In the Still of the Night" and deconstructs them with a cool, elegant grace. She also throws in three of her own originals as well. The result invigorates Porter's songbook, rather than slavishly celebrating its familiarity. Help from a crack back-up band, including saxophonist Chris Potter, makes the mix sparkle all the more.
