The pairing of jazz vocalist Petra van Nuis and guitarist Andy Brown is one of those rare combinations where all parts seem to fit. Germany's Jazzpodium Magazine hails their twenty-five year musical collaboration as "a magical musical dialogue, which can only partially be described as blind understanding."  As high school sweethearts at a performing arts school in Cincinnati, Petra and Andy grew up together as artists. Living in Chicago since 2004, Petra and Andy regularly play the prominent area venues including the Jazz Showcase, the Green Mill, Andy's Jazz Club, Le Piano, FitzGerald's and Winter’s Jazz Club. Nationally, the couple plays jazz festivals and clubs. With several European tours and six of their CDs re-released in Japan, Petra and Andy continue to spread their swinging sounds to music lovers far and wide.
Petra exhibits interpretive savvy, light-and-silvery vocals and better still, a saucy manner of delivery that emphasizes the art of the double entendre."
-Chicago Tribune
"Andy Brown manages to wrap his rich harmonic style in a unhurried feel that calls to mind the spirit of George Van Eps with a current harmonic understanding."
-All About Jazz
