Patricia
Barber, The Premonition Years: 1994-2002 chronicles Barber's 8 year
association with the Chicago based indy-label Premonition Records.
This was a time when Barber did her first real touring and led to her "discovery" on
a worldwide stage. These years defined Barber's career in many ways
gaining her the exposure and critical acclaim that solidified her place
as one of the most in demand and exciting female jazz vocalists working
in jazz. It was also a time when the buzz around Barber led Blue Note
Records to enter into a joint imprint relationship with Premonition
for the licensing rights to her releases, the first such agreement
in the storied history of Blue Note Records. This expansive boxed set
-- her first retrospective -- fully captures Barber's unique melange
of modern pop, revered standards and inventive originals.
