Jill Barber - Chances - VINYL LP

STAIRSTEPS / 2ND RESURRECTION Gold vinyl

A cafe in Paris, a cocktail lounge in Palm Springs, a beachside bar in Rio de Janeiro, a lokanta in Istanbul. Jill Barber's French repertoire is played around the world and has earned her a following that transcends language barriers. Her music has become the soundtrack to an experience. It is a surprising achievement for an anglophone artist who only began her affair with the French language in her late twenties, following a moment during the Montreal Jazz Festival, where she sang a few notes of French to an enraptured crowd. Inspired by their reaction, Jill enrolled herself in an immersive French school in the South of France, eventually emerging with her own recordings of the songs and poets that inspired her most Piaf, Gainsbourg, Aznavour. The album InchChansonsInch was released in 2013 and has since become Jill's most globally successful record to date, having been streamed over 120 million times - with more than 35 million listens in the past year alone. A full decade later, Jill has reunited with Grammy Award-nominated producer Drew Jurecka and the musicians that accompanied her on InchChansonsInch to produce InchENCORE!Inch, it's long-awaited sequel. InchENCORE!Inch is a delightfully arranged and lushly orchestrated album, featuring all new interpretations of classic songs by Edith Piaf, Charles Trenet, Blossom Dearie, Django Reinhardt, Robert Charlebois, Josephine Baker, and Barbara.

Jill Barber's 2013 masterpiece InchChansonsInch is an album of interpretations of classic French songs from both France and Québec. Jill meticulously curated the repertoire herself, selecting material both from her own collection and from recommendations from friends within the Francophone community. InchI spent time with the songs. I strolled the streets with Aznavour, I sat in a sidewalk cafe with Piaf, poured a stiff drink with Gainsbourg, and I became absolutely enamoured and inspired by French music in the process.InchJill Barber is a 3-time JUNO Award nominee, a Polaris Music Prize nominee, and winner of the Sirius/XM Jazz Album of the Year.
