This one was named #1 Jazz Recording of 2002 by the Los Angeles Times. It contains some of the most refined Barber compositions on record to date including the haunting Clues, the sultry I Could Eat Your Words and the beautiful and poetic If I Were Blue. A great band too including Dave Douglas on trumpet and Joey Baron on drums.Musicians: Patricia Barber, piano, vocals, fender Rhodes; Michael Arnopol, bass; Neal Alger, guitars; Dave Douglas, trumpet; Joey Baron, drums (1-8); and Eric Montzka, drums (9).
