I've been a fan of Patricia's and pegged her for stardom since her first CD's in the 1990's, so I'm especially pleased to welcome her as the newest member of the MarsJazz roster. Possessed of a supple, hauntingly evocative voice and an expressive, idiosyncratic piano style, Patricia inexorably draws the listener into her unique musical world. Add to that a keen ear for melody and a poet's way with wordplay and metaphor, and rarely have so many musical gifts found expression in a single soul. Whether she's exploring every nuance of meaning in a torch song or literately critiquing today's social scene in one of her original compositions, few artists have the storytelling ability of Patricia. In fact, her next Blue Note CD, to be released in 2011, will be called Storyteller, and she will be trying out new material for it in live performances this year. So book Patricia and treat your audience to an evening with one of the most original and significant artists working in Jazz today. |
