| CLUBS
Tuck & Patti (USA). On July 21-23, festive concerts will take place in honor of the fifth anniversary of Le Club, the main jazz venue in Russia. On these three nights, the club will feature the American duo Tuck Andress (acoustic guitar) and Patti Cathcart (vocals). Both jazz musicians played in different ensembles and recorded records until they met. This meeting, according to both, turned their lives around, because they found in each other what they wanted to do in music. Only with the help of their voice and guitar, musicians are able to get the audience going right away, and at the same time record excellent jazz and rhythm and blues records.
