I have experienced Patricia’s sound

since I heard her on NPR-

over a decade ago.

Knocked

OUT.

Flushed.

Took

my

breath

away.

Still does the math on me!

I called Lowell immediately

– tellingWOW him about Patricia Barber!

Lowell booked her at the old Dakota Jazz Club in Bandana Square.

X

I “experience”  the experience every time Lowell books her.

The steam and heat of her sound and phrasing

along with her prescient ensemble

is languid,

subtle,

fierce,

lush,

incisive,

erotic,

vulnerable

and

tensile sexiness.

Rene Marie- Wishes

…I said to my soul, be still, and wait without hope
For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love,
For love would be love of the wrong thing; there is yet faith
But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.
Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought:
So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing…

T. S. Eliot
