From Paris To Boston, Direct Judi Silvano Plays Ryles Jazz Club

It’s a familiar story and the momentum just keeps building. Adams and Santisi play to appreciative audiences the first Sunday of every month at Ryles Jazz Club. Observes Adams, “This is our first guest vocalist for the brunch and we’re excited it’s Judi”. The Silvano set begins at noon or thereabouts. It’s going to be a knockout of a show so make your reservations 617 876 9330. Brunch begins at 10:00 am when Club doors open and The Patricia Adams Quartet kicks-off the first set.

Ryles Jazz Club is located at 212 Hampshire Street, Inman Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Silvano and Adams met in early 2000 at a Sheila Jordan Workshop in Manhattan. They stayed in touch and eventually thought it would be fun to perform together. The Ryles brunch presented an appealing setting and Boston/Cambridge audiences are beneficiaries. Fresh from a whirlwind Paris gig, Silvano looks forward to sharing her ‘vocalese’ with jazz legend Ray Santisi [piano]. Read more about the band in their biographies below. They offer CD’s for sale at www.Amazon.com and www.CDBaby.com.

The theme of jazz and blues standards from Tin Pan Alley and Harlem renaissance remain the staples of this band. Delight your palate with the delicious entrees offered at $15 and under, and thrill your ears with live music, at no extra charge !


BUZZ
“ … Ray Santisi is comfortable. And a comfortable Ray Santisi does things like move the melodic line of Heft's "Girl Talk" all over the place and into remarkable permutations during a much too-brief piano solo. As you would expect, Patricia Adams is having fun. She's taking more chances with it all, but not audacious, stupid chances, She does things like increase the level of a syllable or shift the phrasing just a smidge. Subtle stuff that holds the real meaning within an improvised translation of verse. And the solid savvy remains. For example, she retains her exemplary repertoire, mixing standards with wonderful songs that never quite make the "chestnut" category but should. Hearing compositions that fly under the radar of most songbirds (such as "I Want To Be Loved" and "If You Cound See Me Now") remains one of the great joys of catching Patricia Adams and friends at Ryles on the first Sunday of each month (and elsewhere around town).” Stu Vandermark, CADENCE MAGAZINE, March 2006

PATRICIA ADAMS, bandleader and vocalist, shuttles her renditions of standards from renaissance Harlem and Tin Pan Alley between Manhattan, Westchester, Hartford and Boston. Reviewers say, " … reigns when she steps to the microphone … backed by a superb trio … classy song stylist … her ability to put together a musical road atlas sets Adams apart … voice is silky smooth, yet strong".

Stepping onto a nightclub stage for the first time in 1992 at Scullers Jazz Club in Boston, Adams segued to designated show opener there for the Frank Wilkins Vocal Showcase until 1996. Two years, a hundred open mics and twenty nursing homes later, she took the plunge and traded her thirty-five year career in human resources management for life as a full time artist. Many press kits and phone calls later, her venues now attract those who enjoy the jazz and blues standards of the 1930's and '40's. Her following has grown from family and friends to thousands.

Earning BS and MBA degrees in the 1960's, Adams studied music theory, harmony, and improvisation at the New England Conservatory in Boston and at the Performing Arts School of Worcester in the 1990's. She has studied with Semenya McCord, Dominique Eade and Frank Wilkins in Boston and with Jim Carson, Jeannie Lovetri of Voice Workshop, Sheila Jordan and Kirk Nurock in Manhattan.

(2004), Out Of This World (2001) which placed in four categories on the 2001 Grammy Awards ballot, Blue For You (1998), and Raw Silk (1996). Her recordings are available through North Country Distributors in Redwood, NY, cdBaby.com, TowerRecords.com, Garagista.com and on Amazon.com.

Adams is a voting member of the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences and served on the board of the New England Conservatory. EMAIL: patadams@rcn.com

“Bassist GREG LOUGHMAN’s debut is a charming and sultry sojourn into Latin jazz. From Eric "The Fish" Paton's first timbale riffs on "Descarga" to Kris Keith's florid flute solo on the albums closer, "Khadsin," you're transported back to the world of Getz-meets-Jobim and sangria…This is Greg's baby, he wrote all the tunes, but his playing is supremely unselfish— not once do you stop and think, "Oh, this is the bass player's album," ..if you're looking to relax to a well-crafted Latin-jazz album, this is definitely worth checking out.” - Don Zulaica, jazz critic, Alternate Music Press May 2001
