Description
Jazz Standard welcomes back Duchess, whose flawless harmonies, effervescent swing and on–stage wit have graced our stage on multiple occasions. Amy Cervini, Hilary Gardner and Melissa Stylianou made their disc debut in February 2015 with the eponymous CD Duchess and followed by the critically lauded “Laughing at Life", produced by arranger Oded Lev–Ari and released by Anzic Records. They soon found themselves appearing at major jazz festivals from Monterey to Toronto, and collaborating with other jazz leaders like Christian McBride, Kat Edmonson, and Wycliff Gordon. A vocal trio in the great tradition of the Boswell Sisters, Duchess has forged a reputation for providing tight harmonies and big fun at their shows – and they’ll be recording live during this special engagement. Make your reservations now! “This fresh-faced triumvirate plays it straight from the heart, leaving any trace of camp or postmodern irony at the door.” (The New Yorker)

In a remarkably short amount of time, Duchess has developed a major reputation as a leading vocal trio. Inspired by vocal groups like the Boswell Sisters and the Andrews Sisters, Duchess boasts tight vocal harmonies that are both technically challenging and easy on the ears. Rather than performing straight takes on the classics, however, their arrangements are uniquely tailored for their voices and 21st century tastes. The New York-based threesome featuring Amy Cervini, Hilary Gardner and Melissa Stylianou made its debut on record with the eponymous Duchess in 2015, followed by the critically acclaimed Laughing at Life released by Anzic Records in February 2017. Sure-footed swing, sweet-toned harmony and ever-insouciant charm, Duchess is well known for their sense of humor and playfulness, so be prepared to let loose and have a good time.
