Patricia Barber - I never heard of her until this past RMAF, Jason from Stereophile educated me about her.

Nice cover of, Ode to Billie Joe

She records very well, nice audiophile quality!

I think of her music as Progressive Jazz, you have to listen to a track all the way through at least once to be sure not to miss something. My favorite album is Modern Cool, a nice cover of Light My Fire and She's A Lady. The very last track is a version of Let It Rain with a full choir. I also like the album Smash which is my next favorite.

Check out Mythodologies, it’s a very interesting Barber album.

Patricia Barber was Dianna Krall and Norah Jones before they became the "Audio Show demo darlings." Great recordings with not much substance in my opinion.
 
What is a recording with or without substance?!?

True, it's not on Tidal. I have the CD. Not sure why it's not. Cafe Blue and a couple other titles appeared on Tidal just within the last year.

Jack, I disagree, on substance, if anyone has it, Patricia does. It's just you have to get her and it takes some listening to get it. However, we all aren't going to like every artist out there. May not be your bag. I for one am not a Krall fan.

Barber has managed to carve out her own nitch and style, It's not even right to compare her to others like Krall, just not on the same plain if you ask me.

Found Smash on both Qobuz and Tidal, is Modern Cool a physical album?
