SUMMARY:Songs from the Rat Pack to the Andrew Sisters: Duchess
LOCATION:The Local
DESCRIPTION:With dazzling precision\, sweet-toned harmony\, and effortless 
 charm and warmth\, Duchess - featuring notable singers **Amy Cervini\, Hil
 ary Gardner**\, and **Melissa Stylianou** - sing venerable jazz standards 
 and playful reimaginings of novelty songs made famous by vocal groups like
  the Boswell Sisters and the Andrews Sisters. Boasting tight vocal harmoni
 es Duchess' arrangements are uniquely tailored for their voices and for th
 eir sense of humor and playfulness\, so come ready to let loose and have a
  good time.\n\nDuchess first convened in 2013 at Greenwich Village’s now
  bygone 55 Bar\, with what had initially seemed like a one-off gig ending 
 up as obvious musical kismet. The trio recorded the studio albums Duchess 
 (2015) and Laughing at Life (2017)\, prompting Downbeat Magazine to declar
 e\, “For a good time\, call Duchess.” Then came the EP Harmony for the
  Holidays (2018) and Live at the Jazz Standard (2020)\, the latter an atmo
 spheric souvenir from another beloved\, now-shuttered Manhattan club. Thei
 r latest album\, A Marvelous Party (2026)\, is a shindig in song that spin
 s the tale of a party in all its scenes and shades of feeling\, from eager
  anticipation and dizzy elation to wistful ennui and\, ultimately\, warm-h
 earted appreciation of it all. They color the performances with Rat Pack-s
 tyle playfulness\, something the Wall Street Journal caught early on about
  the trio: “They understand that swinging music goes hand in hand with a
 n audacious sense of humor.”\n\nThe trio has performed at major festival
 s and esteemed clubs throughout the United States\, Canada\, Europe\, and 
 Israel\, making it their business to connect through joy. Duchess has coll
 aborated with the Paul Taylor Dance Company\, performing the music of the 
 Andrews Sisters for Taylor’s seminal piece\, “Company B\,” at Lincol
 n Center in October/November 2019. Duchess won “Vocal Group of the Year
 ” two years running in the 2021 and 2022 Jazz Journalists Association Aw
 ards\, and was named “Best Vocal Group” in the 2021 Jazz Times Critics
 ’ Poll.\n\n**“music that traffics in delight” - The New Yorker**\n\n
