Cris Barber - Nobody Else But Me (2004)

Winner of the prestigious Orange County Music Award for Best Jazz Artist. With a vocal style that conjures the grand jazz traditions while staying true to her 21st Century rhythmic soul, Cris' skillful vibe gives the this album a flow sure to appeal to sophisticated jazz enthusiasts.

Recognized in Southern California as one of the area's premier jazz vocals for well over a decade, she can count performances at most of Orange County's most important jazz venues among her successes.

Despite the album title, Cris is the first to credit her supporting musicians for the successful sound of Nobody . . . "The musicians, the technical and producing talent I was able to work with were just phenominal. These guys are -- every one of them -- just the most incredibly gifted people I could imagine." Sentiments they, not doubt, echo.

"You are in top voice, plus the arrangements and playing are supportive and tasty. Please don't make us wait too long for the next representation of your art, your craft, and your expression." - John Clayton, Jr., noted Composer/Arranger/Bassist
former Musical Director for the Hollywood Bowl Jazz Series
