Inside scoop:
Trish grew up listening to all styles
of music. At the age of 10, her
favorite Country artists were Ray Charles, Roger Miller & Johnny Cash. Her sister played a lot of R&B & "Motown," especially artists like The Four Tops, The Temptations, Smoky Robinson & Steve Wonder, whose influences opened her up to Soul and Blues. Trish began learning guitar chords and a few melody lines and she started to accompany herself learning folk songs of Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Leonard Cohen, Joni Mitchell, Linda Ronstadt & Laura Nyro.
Her mother had a satiny Sarah Vaughan style contralto voice and
from her she learned concepts like
phrasing, timing, lyrical expressions and improvisation. Her grandmother sang and played the piano and
organ by ear. By listening to her grandmother, she began to simulate some piano voicings and essentially began a study of ear training.
| Trish's vocal sound is described as soothing, soulful, clean, sultry and dreamy. Her phrasing and time are impeccable and the music is uplifting and fresh with sprinklings of Soul, Bluesy Jazz, BeBop and Brazilian motifs. She is currently working on a debut CD which will include originals, with a feel for the contemporary and bluesy/humorous styles. The CD will also include a few rearranged standards...as well as a few surprises!
Trish is the creator and former owner of Jazz Jam Cafe an intimate jazz performance venue in Northern California. Currently, she holds the Vocal Forum Workshop, an on-going rehearsal group for singers. She also teaches beginning voice training at her private vocal studio in Santa Rosa, California. Moving to the West Coast in the latter 80's introduced Trish to "KJAZ" the premier San Francisco Jazz station. Listening to jazz was extraordinarily challenging and very compelling and the most musically inspiring to date. Her brother, Nick, began making audio cassettes for her of compilations of the history of jazz instrumental groups and and vocalist's. She immediately dug Thelonias Monk & John Coltrane, Etta Jones, Diane Schuur, Horace Silver, Johnny Hartman, Miles Davis, Joe Pass, Sarah Vaughan, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Dexter Gordon, Stan Getz, Jobim, Jao Gilberto, Wes Montgomery, Bill Evans, etc., etc. |
