Artist Biography
Available in: gb icon
Patti Wicks (born Patricia Ellen Chappell; February 24, 1945, Islip, New York – March 7, 2014, West Palm Beach, Florida) was an American jazz singer and pianist who was active in the music scene of New York and Florida.

Life and Work
Wicks began playing the piano at the age of three and later attended the Crane School of Music at the State University of New York at Potsdam. Influenced by Bill Evans, she began to perform professionally and moved to New York City, where she played in small ensembles. She also directed her own trio, featuring bassists such as Sam Jones, Richard Davis, Brian Torff, and Mark Dresser, and drummers Curtis Boyd, Louis Hayes, Mickey Roker, and Alan Dawson. In the 1970s, she moved to Florida, where she worked as a musician with, among others, Clark Terry, Larry Coryell, Frank Morgan, Ira Sullivan, Flip Phillips, Anita O'Day, Rebecca Parris, Roseanna Vitro and Giacomo Gates. In addition, she taught jazz piano at colleges and gave private lessons. In 1997, she released her debut album Room at the Top: The Patti Wicks Trio; She also was a guest on Marian McPartland's NPR program Piano Jazz. She was involved in ten jazz recording sessions from 1997 to 2010.

According to Allmusic, she was in the tradition of Jeri Southern, Nina Simone and Shirley Horn. Although her vocal range was limited, her diction, phrasing and intonation were excellent.
