notes
In her Maryland youth, Miss Tess was lullabied to sleep by the sounds of her father’s Big Band rehearsing in a basement below her bedroom."Home", her debut album, is in homage to those days. A compilation of original songs, it features her mom on the upright and pops on sax and clarinet.
Since releasing this album in 2005, Miss Tess found her way to Boston and the storied Cambridge folk scene, and put together The Bon Ton Parade, a dynamic, solo-swapping combo, comprised of drums, upright bass, lead guitar, sax and clarinet. Her second album, Modern Vintage, features this band playing both her original songs and covers. On her third album (available at www.pxrec.com), "When Tomorrow Comes", Tess mainly takes on jazz standards, and finds herself in the amicable company of several D.C. area notables. Beyond Boston and the nation’s capital, Tess plays regularly in New York City and is currently on the brink of beginning a full-time touring career.

Relaxed and smooth jazz
author: Karl BurnsI went to a friend's house to visit, and this CD was playing. After hearing only one song, I knew I had to have it. Miss Tess' voice perfectly compliemnts the clarinet, almost like the two are performing a duet. The stand-up is a perfect second to the pitchy lead instruments, and Miss Tess' exquisite and unique voice. You will bounce around the house with this CD playing!
I can listen to her forever without getting bored.
author: Daniel Johnshe sings from her ovaries, drawning energy directly up from mother earth this leaves her vocal apparatus so relaxed her voice flies out like water sings she has so much power in her tone I am mesmerized, stunned, entranced her voice uplifts me no matter what the song, I can't explain it
