A singular singer-pianist-songwriter, Barber celebrates the release of her first major-label recording in five years, "Smash" (Concord Jazz). Built entirely on original works, ¿Smash¿ spotlights the poetry of Barber's lyrics, the mystery of her harmonies and the ingenuity of her pianism. Add to this the sensuousness of her vocals, and Barber has few peers in jazz today.
