From her sharp yet subtle interpretations of such pop classics as "Once In a Lifetime" [Talking Heads] and "I'm A Believer" [Monkees] to her adaptations of Nina Simone classics, Barb Jungr is one of our very favourite singers - however you wish to classify her music. We can't wait to hear for ourselves.
Advance word - as you can see below - on her latest CD, Hard Raid (in which she appropriates Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen) is more than positive, and we can't wait to hear it
4 Stars Jazzwise
"Investing
everything she sings with telling insight, Jungr's complete affinity
with the material lends the collection a galvanising power."
8/10 Uncut
"The
commanding and rhapsodic singing brings connection and
insight…superlative arrangements….To give such standards precious new
life is quite some achievement."
The Sunday Times
"1000 Kisses Deep is simple heart-stopping. Jungr's attention to timbre and nuance brings new depth to every syllable."
"This music is the North American Songbook's climax, revealed by its greatest interpreter."
"Enthralling…Jungr is the perfect interpreter of this kind of material.

"For my money, Ms. Jungr is one of the best living tellers of Bob Dylan’s tales."
