"Throaty, come-hither vocals and cooly incisive piano. Barber's hushed, sensuous version of 'Bye Bye Blackbird,' hasn't been bettered since Miles Davis last took the old standby out for a spin." — Time

"Nightclub is an extraordinary recording by an extraordinary artist." — Stereophile

Nightclub, the new record of standards from vocalist / pianist Patricia Barber and first studio release for Blue Note, has been a long time in coming. From the very begining of her 20-year career, devoted fans have been asking Patricia Barber to dedicate a record to standards. "These songs have always been a part of my repertoire and are a big part of who I am, but I wanted to try and define myself in a different way before making a record like this," says Barber. It is hard to argue with her approach. Armed with a press kit to die for, strong national radio support and two Top 10 Billboard Jazz recordings in a row, the timing couldn't be better for her most accessible record to date. Fans will recognize and appreciate that within simple approaches, Barber maintains her fierce individuality. Jazz vocal traditionalists will hear an astonishing voice inside well-known melodies, giving itself over to the song. And, aficionados of the American popular songbook cannot help but appreciate hearing their music given by one of the most expressive voices in contemporary music.
