"For the best part of 35 years, her distinctive saxophone and flute style - warm, open, immensely accomplished but never flashy - has been a constant presence. Jazz fashions and ideologies have come and gone but Barbara has just blithely carried on being Barbara, always herself, always contemporary." - The Observer Review, Dave Gelly MBE, 1 April 2001
