On Smash, her January 22, 2013 debut on Concord Jazz, Patricia Barber reiterates her unique position in modern music as a jazz triple-threat – imaginative pianist, startling vocalist, and innovative composer after decades of honors and awards and fifteen full-length albums.
With a new band and new compositions, Barber will be making a rare tour to promote her latest offering, Smash. She also continues her two-decade crusade to retrieve the ground that jazz musicians long ago ceded to pop and rock: the realm of the intelligent and committed singer-songwriter, tackling even familiar subjects (like love and loss) with a nuance and depth beyond the limits of the Great American Songbook.
Musicians Institute students (no outside guests) should sign up (first come, first served) by Thursday, February 28th at 5pm at the MI Student Affairs Office to receive free admission (maximum of ONE ticket per student).
After the LIMITED free ticketing allotment has been filled, MI (and all other) student tickets are $20 with valid school ID.
General Public Tickets ($30) are available at the door (one hour before showtime) or in advance online HERE
