Patricia Barber: Cafe Blue version on SACD in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in USA in publishing company Premonition Records on 20. May 2022.

Patricia Barber's "Café Blue" is a 1994 album that showcases the unique jazz talents of the American singer, pianist, and songwriter. The album is a blend of original compositions and innovative covers, featuring tracks such as "What A Shame," which highlights Barber's introspective songwriting and "Mourning Grace," a piece that exhibits her depth as a vocalist. The album also includes a haunting rendition of "Manhá de Carnaval," known as the theme from the film Black Orpheus, and a reimagined version of Bobbie Gentry's "Ode To Billie Joe," which Barber infuses with her distinctive jazz style. Other tracks like "Romanesque" and "Yellow Car III" further display Barber's prowess as both a composer and performer. Her interpretation of Miles Davis' "Nardis" adds to the album's eclectic mix, while "Wood Is A Pleasant Thing To Think About" stands out as an instrumental track showcasing her skillful piano work. The inclusion of classics like "A Taste Of Honey" and B.B. King's "The Thrill Is Gone" demonstrates Barber's ability to reinterpret and breathe new life into well-known standards. The whimsical "Inchworm," originally from the musical Hans Christian Andersen, rounds out the album with its playful yet sophisticated arrangement. With "Café Blue," Patricia Barber delivers an album that is both rich in musical complexity and accessible to jazz enthusiasts and newcomers alike.

Album spans genres Jazz, Vocal and Contemporary Jazz.
