O’s Notes: Audrey Silver may be a new name on the jazz circuit but she’s been around music since childhood studying piano and cello. She graduated from Brown University and engaged in the business at CBS and then Chesky Records. She developed her vocal style studying under Sheila Jordan and Mark Murphy. She has a style that is unique and delightful. She embellishes each note and phrase with good use of tone and dynamics. The music swings gently around Audrey’s voice especially on “Exactly Like You”, “In the Wee Small Hours” and “I Will Wait For You”. The net effect is a recreation of standards that is refreshing and enjoyable, a fine first effort.
