Last night I went to the regattabar for the concert of Jazz pianist Patricia Barber. What a disappointment!! She has a very nice, well controlled, voice but in terms of jazz she is very weak. She tried to look cool by making faces and such when she plays the piano but the quality is simply not there. The band that played with her only made it worse. The guitarist looked like he was playing on a funeral or something. I'm glad it was very expensive. The only good part of the concert were the two songs from Cole Porter that she played: Ce Magnifique and I've Grown Accustomed to his Face. She also played one of my favorites songs of all time: Blackbird (Beatles), but she managed to make me dislike it.
