About this album

Tears Of Joy is a graceful and distinctive contemporary jazz album that shows Tuck & Patti at their most musically assured. Released in 1988, it pairs Tuck Andress’s fluid guitar work with Patti Cathcart’s expressive voice, turning familiar material and originals into intimate, finely shaped performances. The duo’s chemistry gives the record its strength: understated, melodic and emotionally direct, with a vocal-jazz sensibility that helped set them apart from slicker late-1980s crossover releases. The album has remained one of their best-regarded works, admired for its warmth, musicianship and elegant restraint.
