A regular at Boston’s celebrated Regattabar since 1996, Patrice Williamson has also appeared in the company of Tony Bennett, James Moody, and Cassandra Wilson at the Tanglewood Jazz Festival; and Danilo Perez and Kevin Mahogony at the Marblehead Jazz Festival. Around the U.S., she’s been heard at Boston’s Symphony Hall, Jordan Hall, Hatch Shell, and Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum; as well as the IDB Cultural Center Concert Series in Washington, DC.
The response to her debut recording My Shining Hour (released in September 1998) has been overwhelmingly positive, drawing favorable comparisons to legends like Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan. She was honored with a coveted “Best of Boston” award in 1997, and in 1999 and 2000 was a nominee for “Best Jazz Vocalist” by the Kahlua Boston Music Awards.
