Hybrid Multichannel SACD

4 additional tracks

Impex Records, in collaboration with Patricia Barber, announce the premier of the multichannel audio SACD/Hybrid disc of her elegant new album Higher.

Recorded and mixed by long-time collaborator Jim Anderson, this spectacular set contains a unique eight jazz-interpreted art-song cycle that explores the mysteries that bind and illuminate us. Barber says of her six-year creation of Higher, “I feel very much that this album is a manifestation of my hard-won harmonic evolution.” She continues her blending of classical and modern idioms, both musical and lyrical, into a hybrid that plays to the best of both: classically-oriented with room to improvise and expand.

This SACD version contains four additional tracks: jazz standards “Early Autumn”, “Secret Love” and “In Your Own Sweet Way”, along with an expanded version of “The Opera Song” featuring lyric soprano Katherine Werbiansky. Both 5.1 and 2.0 SACD layers were transferred directly to DSD from original DXD (352.8kHz / 32 bit) files for astonishing reproduction of every living note and subtle expression in this truly seminal work by one of America’s finest jazz auteurs.
