Barbara Higbie has performed on more than 65 albums, including 3 songs for Carlos Santana’s 2007 release. She is known as a vibrant, inventive performer and composer, bringing out the best in a musical group and an audience.

Barbara has recorded for Windham Hill Records since 1982, with 11 recordings to her credit as well as contributions to 10 compilations that have sold in the millions. As a co-founder of the acoustic super group "Montreux," she recorded live at the Montreux Jazz Festival a genre bending acoustic sound that has become synonymous with Northern California.

On her website, a review written by Derk Richardson of The San Francisco Bay Guardian states: "A jazz pianist who can write and sing like Laura Nyro and Carol King, a prize-winning folk fiddler who will interpret a John Coltrane tune through a French vocal or add her own lyrics to one of Django Reinhardt's last compositions, Higbie brings all her gifts to bear…"
