Aptly titled future Jazz Classic!, Oct 20 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Modern Cool [Bonus Track] [SACD] (Audio CD)
This is chill to the max. Mellow, but mournful. Easy but DEEP. It sounds AMAZING on SACD. I though MFSL was a load a crap, then I heard this. I'm a believer. . . WHAT else they got?

Listen, really listen, April 3 2003
This review is from: Modern Cool [Bonus Track] [SACD] (Audio CD)
I can't tell what I like best: the vocals, the audio quality or the songs. So where's that leave things? Simply put, this is an altogether splendid CD. SACD is, of course worth the additional cost if sonics mean anything to you. Not to take anything from Ms. Barber's fine songwriting, but her intrepretation of The Doors's classic "Light My Fire" really does just that for me.

showcase sacd, Mar 26 2003
This review is from: Modern Cool [Bonus Track] [SACD] (Audio CD)
If you have been wondering about the hype about SACD and need convincing and you like cool jazz, this disc is for you. Patricia Barber has been making superb jazz cd's for years, musically interesting and breaking new bounds and always well recorded. While the CD version of Modern Cool is in my books a 9 out of 10, the SACD takes it up to an even better level. Great dynamics,a soundstage that is three dimensional and if you play this late at night, Patricia is right there in the room with you. Multi-channel is not for everybody and for the crowd that has reservations about 5.1 mixing, the 2 channel stereo is stunning with presence and magic. Get this sacd and you will use it to showcase your system.
