Jazz vocals with innovative touches; a modern NPR/Starbucks feel rather than a rehash of standards. Admittedly a bit slick but offers some new ideas and fresh challenges -- lyrically as well as musically (e.g. the political turn on #9). Barber is a vocalist and songwriter but also a pianist and doesn't mind doing instrumentals here and there. The band includes piano, guitar, bass, drums. 1- Easygoing singer/songwriter feel 2- Mellow and pleasant; acoustic guitar 3- Almost fusion: Chugging midtempo, nice piano & guitar solos. (Inst.) 4- Slow ballad 5- Midtempo and spare, w/cool, echoey space guitar 6- Slow 7- Cocktail-jazz instrumental, mid/fast and upbeat 8- Beatles cover. Starts slow with rolling piano; gets into a faster, crisp soloing segment. A rare Beatles jazz cover that works! 9- Fast and ear-catching, with blurry strumming on guitar. Monologue on white sovereignity. 10- Slow, with '50s pop-jazz melody | ||
