Chances (Jill Barber album)

Chances is an album by Canadian singer-songwriter Jill Barber, released October 14, 2008 on Outside Music.^[1]

The album was noted for marking a departure from Barber's established folk-pop style. On Chances, Barber instead works within a jazz style which was compared by fans to Doris Day and Peggy Lee.^[2]

The album was recorded primarily at Blue Rodeo's Woodshed Studios in Toronto, with some string and horn arrangements recorded at the Glenn Gould Studio.^[1] Three of the songs were co-written with Ron Sexsmith, and the album was produced by Toronto singer-songwriter Les Cooper.^[1]
