Featured on NPR programs "Jazz Inspired", with Judy Carmichael, and "Hot Jazz Saturday Night." with Rob Bamberger, she is the recipient of a Backstage -Bistro Award, and is included in Scott Yanow’s book, “Great Jazz Singers.”
Barbara's studio albums include “Deep Night”, with Vince Giordano and The Nighthawks, “On The Brink”, with Wyclife Gordon, Howard Alden and Randy Sandke, and a Grammy nominated collection of -1920s/30s tunes - “Nice and Naughty” with her own New Yorkers.
