The recording duo of Tuck & Patti has been around for quite a few years, 29 of them to be exact.  They are certainly no strangers to the Easy Listening crowds that include New Age fans.  Tuck & Patti had recorded more than a few albums for Windham Hill before licensing their releases to larger labels via their own private label, T&P Records, including this latest release, I Remember You.  This latest collaboration is a Tuck & Patti collection with covers of original music by Rodgers & Hammerstein (“It Might as Well be Spring”), Gershwin (“A Foggy Day,” “Embraceable You”), Ellington w/Mills and Kurtz (“In a Sentimental Mood”), and others.

Patti Cathcart, whose deep voice has the sweet consistency of honey, it flows and twinkles and covers every part of a song.  Her husband, Tuck Andress, whose guitar helps the two to uniquely put a jazzy T&P stamp on the standards they cover, contributes a free-style blend that complements the able voice of Patti.  Together, their albums are listenable forays into the jazz and pop worlds of times gone by.

I Remember You does an expectedly admirable job on the classic songs they cover.  Pleasant for those lazy days.
