A jazz singer, guitarist and songwriter Eve Silber can easily be found at a number of downtown jazz venues in New York City. Playing with a supreme array of the jazz capital's venerable sidemen (horns and drums), Eve maintains the tradition of the swing era with an extensive repertoire of standards and substandards.
Eve received much of her training in the Village, in the accompaniment of the great dames of Grove Street: Marie Blake, and Mable Godwin as well as under the tutelage of guitar great Dave Van Ronk.
She carries out her love affair with the American Songbook in a super swinging style and with a joy reminiscent of the great jazz age.
"A sultry voiced songsmith. Her Wes Montgomery stylings are smooth and adept." - Greenwich Village Gazette
"She has such an insightful way with lyrics that she makes old stories new again." - Dirty Linen Magazine
"She's not only very good…she's interesting! I can sit and listen happily
for as long as she wants to sing and play." - Dave Van Ronk
heh heh...the "holding the puppy" comment was an inside joke with myself...just a funny thing I heard a guy say to someone who was feeling under the weather...like something a Mom might say to a little boy, I guess....never mind...hehehheheheh.
I'd love to play with you anytime. You playing that guitar, singing that song, me playing them notes on me saxophone. What a picture. . . see? Hey, I'm funny?
Hi Eve, thanks for the add.
I was fun hearing you with Jack and mr B-flo at the Ear the other day. Good music and Boddingtons or whatever the hell it was I drank that night. . . good times.
