About Patty Waters
Avant-garde vocalist Patty Waters made only two albums in the 1960s, but they were enough to cement an artistic reputation equal to that of Albert Ayler and John Coltrane. Waters didn’t just sing; she cried, wailed, and dredged vocal sounds from a deep, dark place within her emotions. As Ayler and Coltrane redefined how the saxophone could be played, Waters changed the way a voice could be heard and felt. In the late ‘60s she left music to raise a family, but resurfaced in the mid-‘90s with LOVE SONGS, a calmer, gentler approach closer to that of more traditional singers like Billie Holiday and Helen Merrill.
