Tuck and
Patti to jazz
Antioch
The “Best jazz duo on the
planet, ” according to Bobby
McFerrin, will be gracing the stage
at Antioch’s El Campanil Theatre
next weekend.
If ever a musical pair embodied
the term “simpatico,” it would be
guitarist Tuck Andress and singer
Patti Cathcart. Andress is a worldclass
guitarist imbued with the
rare gift of good taste. His musical
partner and wife, Patti Cathcart, is
an uncommonly soulful and inventive
jazz stylist and among the best
scat singers since Ella Fitzgerald.
Together they create magic, a kind
of jazzy chamber music that’s deceptively
simple on the surface but
reveals layers of subtle complexity
with each additional listening.
The duo’s knack for original
interpretations of other people’s
songs remains their strong suit.
Unencumbered yet passionate arrangements
display the panache
that elevates Tuck and Patti above
the “jazz brunch” moniker, and
underscores their music’s timeless
beauty. In Leonard Feather’s opin-
Guitarist Tuck Andress and singer
Patti Cathcart will perform at the
El Campanil Theatre on Saturday,
May 17.
ion, “Not since Ella Fitzgerald met
Joe Pass on stage has there been
so felicitous a mating as Tuck and
Patti.”
Tuck and Patti will take the
stage Saturday, May 17 at 8 p.m.;
the doors open at 7:15 p.m. Gold
section reserved seating is $40; general
admission is $25 for adults; $20
