While Patti Cathcart's name may not be overly well-known, her association with her husband, guitarist <a href="spotify:artist:2J8BTmgI69sBHFlmigC1ak">Tuck Andress</a>, as <a href="spotify:artist:184W9P1vos8AurT467AbgM">Tuck & Patti</a> is world famous. Cathcart grew up in San Francisco, sang in her church choir and school chorus, and studied violin for quite a few years. She also learned a bit of piano and guitar. But it was obvious early on that, due to her beautiful voice, her career would be in singing. Although she attended college during 1967-1968, she soon dropped out to become a professional singer in the San Francisco Bay Area, appearing in a countless number of settings. In 1978 she met <a href="spotify:artist:2J8BTmgI69sBHFlmigC1ak">Tuck Andress</a> at an audition, and within a few months they were practicing songs as a vocal-guitar duo. Although they were soon performing in public and were married in 1983, <a href="spotify:artist:184W9P1vos8AurT467AbgM">Tuck & Patti</a> waited until 1987 before making their recording debut, wanting to be sure that they had something original and unique to offer. Performing jazz, folk music, soul, R&B, some suitable pop music, and originals that were often written by Cathcart. <a href="spotify:artist:184W9P1vos8AurT467AbgM">Tuck & Patti</a> caught on at first locally and then nationally. Their string of recordings for Windham Hill Jazz made them famous outside of California, and recently they have been recording for T&P/33rd Street. While <a href="spotify:artist:184W9P1vos8AurT467AbgM">Tuck & Patti</a>'s style is largely unchanged since the 1980s, their repertoire has steadily grown and their enthusiasm for their often-surprising music has not lessened. It is surprising that Patti Cathcart has not recorded without her husband (<a href="spotify:artist:2J8BTmgI69sBHFlmigC1ak">Tuck Andress</a> has recorded a few instrumental albums) or with a full band, but she has made her mark with <a href="spotify:artist:184W9P1vos8AurT467AbgM">Tuck & Patti</a>. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
