Audrey Silver & Bruce Barth Duo at Soapbox Gallery

About

With a growing catalog of outstanding recordings and a warm, swinging performing style, Audrey Silver is one of the most elegantly creative singers in jazz today. Known for what Hot House Jazz has called “extraordinary artistry” and “a velvet-laden timbre with impeccable phrasing,” Audrey has more recently become known for her compelling takes on well-known pop tunes and her own poignant originals.

Receiving high praise from the jazz press, JazzTimes.com noted that “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.” The same website reinforced a comparison she has heard her entire performing life, and one that she doesn’t take offense to: “Not since Karen Carpenter have I heard such a strong alto voice that is so pure and so convincing.”
