TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
1STEP Process 180g 45rpm 2-LP, Pressed on VR900-Supreme Vinyl! Cut Using Original Analog Mixdown Masters by Bernie Grundman! Strictly Limited To 5,000 Numbered Pressings!
Impex 1STEP #5 celebrates Patricia Barber’s 1999 “return” to The Green Mill, Chicago’s fabled jazz club. Conceived as a “companion” to her Grammy-winning studio album Modern Cool, Companion finds Barber and her touring band in inspired form, playfully and energetically performing hits and deep tracks from her celebrated oeuvre.
The dynamic interaction between the artist and her reverent audience adds a palpable sense of space and community. At the same time, the fans’ hushed attention creates a studio-like sense of precision and detail. The snap and crackle of Barber, her grand piano, and her onstage partners practically leaps off the groove into your listening room!
Companion’s fan-favorite reputation is enhanced immeasurably by Jim Anderson’s jaw-dropping, life-like recording. Eschewing the crystalline sterility of digital recordings of the time, Anderson’s sound is always warm, natural, and lacking unforced “hype.”
Like Anderson, Impex aims to present great recordings that are as natural and life-like as possible. And we couldn’t wait to put our favorite Patricia Barber release, using Jim’s analog mix-down master tapes, on 180 grams of VR900 Super Vinyl. The deep, inky black backgrounds and absence of surface noise will pull listeners right into those three evenings in 1999, capturing a seminal modern jazz artist at a creative and professional peak and reveling in a perfectly rendered and joyous audio time capsule.
Finally, our deluxe Impex Treatment packages the whole party with a lovely outer slipcase, a booklet containing a new note from Patricia, and a dazzling array of photographs from the evening by frequent collaborator Valerie Booth, exclusive to our 1STEP. Heavy paper stock with spot gloss coating and a faithfully recreated exterior design will satisfy original fans and aesthetes throughout the music-loving world.
