about

Vocalist Andy James and bass master John Patitucci team up to craft an intimate evening of jazz standards and pop classics backed by an all-star ensemble An Evening with John Patitucci & Andy James, due out [date] on Le Coq Records, features arrangements by Bill Cunliffe and contributions by Chris Potter, Rick Margitza, Terell Stafford, John Beasley, Vinnie Colaiuta, Rick Margitza and more

On An Evening with John Patitucci & Andy James, two gifted performers join forces to conjure an intimate evening of captivating music. At a time when jazz aficionados around
the world has been starved for musical experiences, the album recreates the sultry atmosphere of a candlelight nightclub as some of the most revered musicians in modern jazz perform classic standards.
Due out November 5 via Le Coq Records, An Evening with John Patitucci & Andy James features nearly 90 minutes of scintillating music featuring an incomparable ensemble. In addition to James’ mesmerizing vocals and Patitucci’s bass mastery,
the album boasts arrangements by piano great Bill Cunliffe for an ensemble that includes
saxophonists Chris Potter and Rick Margitza, trumpeter Terell Stafford, guitarists
Chico Pinheiro and Jake Langley, keyboardists John Beasley and Jon Cowherd,
percussionist Alex Acuña, drummers Vinnie Colaiuta, Marcus Gilmore and Marvin
“Smitty” Smith, along with powerful horn and string sections.
“I wanted people to just sit back and enjoy a listening experience of serene pleasure,”
declares James. “John and I tried to create something easy to listen to that would leave
people feeling good afterwards. I recorded the album in anticipation that people wouldn’t
something too complicated at this time we all find ourselves in.”
Jazz singing and Flamenco dance have been parallel passions throughout Andy James’
life. Flamenco took prominence during what she now refers to as “act one” of her artistic
life. She became renowned as a world-class Flamenco dancer, enjoying a successful
career dancing with her husband and partner Piero Pata in Madrid.
For “act two,” James relocated to the U.S. and focused on her singing career, renewing
collaborations with the great jazz musicians who had crossed her path while they traveled
through Europe. She and Pata launched Le Coq Records, releasing a series of albums
ranging in style from the elegance of the female jazz swing tradition to vintage R&B to
the post-bop urgency of the classic Blue Note era.
An estimable professional family has quickly found a home at the label, with Patitucci, Acuña and Cunliffe playing key roles on a number of releases and several musicians
making recurring appearances from one recording to the next. On An Evening With…,
Patitucci proves an ideal partner for James, bringing his revered tone and musical vision
to the project and convening the ideal musicians for each piece.
