O’s Notes: Barb reunites with long time collaborator and pianist Simon Wallace to produce this collection of post-rock & roll tunes from the American Songbooks. The focus is romance. Jungr and Wallace try to capture the spirit of a live performance. They succeed with a sense of spontaneity and emotional intensity that approximates the concert feeling. Frank Schaefer (cello), Clive Bell (fl) and Paul Clarvis (perc) round out the band where less is more. There are a dozen songs, Barb’s picks forThe Men I Love.
