"Sonically, one of the best recordings ever made by a jazz singer with small acoustic ensemble." — 5 Stars, Downbeat

"Smart songs about the way we think and live, not just about the way we love. This is the kind of art we need to be on the lookout for everywhere. The 21 century has started. We can't afford to be left behind." — New York Times

"An album To Die For." — Stereophile

Patricia Barber's Modern Cool brought her mainstream success, propelled by her classic version of the Doors' "Light My Fire." Touring for this album, Barber played selections from it during her four-night stand at The Jazz Standard in New York. There she was heard by Bruce Lundvall of Blue Note Records, which led to a string of popular Barber recordings for both Premonition and Blue Note, worldwide touring and the unapologetic critical acclaim from which Barber never looked back.

Modern Cool quickly became an audiophile classic both through Jim Anderson's stunningly-detailed, naturalistic recording, and the mastery of Barber's writing and performance!

In Impex's latest collaboration with Barber, this pristine VR900-D2-pressed 180-gram LP, newly remastered by Bernie Grundman using David Glasser's original master, faithfully reproduces every dynamic nuance and tonal accuracy of the of the original recording without harshness or sibilance. We then applied the Impex Treatment to the deluxe new package, updating the stylish original design and adding an exclusive heavy-stock booklet with complete lyrics and exclusive session photos from Barber photographer Valerie Booth.

Even if you already own a copy of this modern cool jazz classic, this new LP adds value and never-before-heard sonics worthy of your upgrade.
