Audrey Silver Quartet Plays The Kitano 9/15

Audrey Silver Quartet at The Kitano. Silver's....voice is like pure sterling. Her phrasing is exquisite, her clarity and enunciation on par with the great Jo Stafford and her breath control - a talent so often, and so wrongfully, overlooked - rivals Sinatra's."

On her stunning sophomore recording (Dream Awhile), New York native and award-winning vocalist Audrey Silver presented a collection of beloved standards to critical acclaim. As one reviewer stated, "Audrey Silver has a voice that's unforgettable. [Her] voice is deep and rich, and she has a way of really emoting that makes the songs more intimate.... Audrey's... voice of gold create(s) an album that jazz fans and casual listeners won't want to miss." (CD Review Blog)

For her appearance at the Kitano, Audrey will be performing songs from her first two recordings as well as works by Bob Dorough, Cole Porter and Duke Ellington. Her band includes pianist Joshua Wolff who, upon moving to New York from Seattle, became one of Mark Murphy's preferred accompanists. In-demand bassist, Paul Beaudry has performed and toured with many jazz luminaries including Steve Turre, Wycliffe Gordon, Antonio Hart, Charlie Persip, Winard Harper, Dena DeRose, Allan Harris, Cynthia Scott, Eric Lewis, and Miles Griffith. Drummer Steve Johns has performed and recorded since the 1980s with virtually the "Who's Who" of the Jazz World including the Sonny Fortune Quartet, The Benny Carter Quintet and The Billy Taylor Trio just to name a few.
