Swinging three part vocals with fresh arrangements of classics old and new.

  • Joseph Lang | Jersey Jazz For 14 years, TRISH, HANS & PHIL have been making very hip sounds in Washington state, the kind of sounds that you expect to find in a place like New York City, Los Angeles or Chicago. Over the years vocalists Trish Hatley, Hans Brehmer, who also plays piano, and Phil Demaree, who also serves as the group's bassist, have built up a book of considerable size.

They have wanted to produce a recording for quite a while, and now, with the ironically titled "Greatest Hits, Volume 1" (THP Productions, no catalog number), they have released their initial CD. Aided by John Anderson on saxophone, Ken French on drums, Alan Keith on trumpet and Bill Anthony on trombone, they have put together a most enjoyable 16-track program that mixes standards and jazz tunes with a couple of side trips to the pop song catalog. On some tracks, they harmonize effectively, while on others one of them takes over the vocal spotlight.

The arrangements by Brehmer and Demaree set the tunes nicely, and are well executed by all involved. Among the tracks that particularly appealed to me were "You’d be So Nice to Come Home To," "Rio de Janeiro Blue" "A Night in Tunisia" and "Jeanine." They close with a neat take on "Brahms Lullaby." One thing that comes through clearly is that this is a group that has a lot of fun performing, and you will have fun listening to them.

TRISH, HANS & PHIL  Music

TRISH, HANS & PHIL have a refreshing concept — three voices, tight harmonies, and great jazz interpretations of The American Songbook and much more. Trish, Hans & Phil are one of the most innovative and entertaining groups in the Northwest today. In addition to their unique and superb musicianship, they convey a joyous and exhilarating sense of showmanship. They bring their novel approach to the classics, from Cole Porter and the Gershwins to Lennon and McCartney. With the story-line lyrics of Hans, the sultry tones of Trish, and Phil's dry wit, this exciting group combines their soaring, swinging vocals for a sound that is truly their own.

Biographies

TRISH HATLEY   Vocals, Cocktail Drums

Throughout the years, Trish has enjoyed an impressive career and has established herself as one of the top vocal talents around.  Her resume easily backs this up. But perhaps one of the most telling indicators of Trish’s success is her loyal and large fan base.  Trish has recorded 8 CD's to date, two with Trish, Has & Phil, and another on the way.  Wherever she plays, the seats are filled, and many of her followers will travel for miles just to hear her sing. This is no accident. Trish’s rapport with her audiences is extraordinary. She is mindful about connecting with her fans and prefers to play venues where people are situated close together so that they can also make a connection with each other. “We are sharing the experience together,” she says, “They need to be part of what you’re doing.” With equal parts warmth, spirit and swing, Trish Hatley is indeed making it happen!

HANS BREHMER   piano, vocals 

One of the most unique and busy musicians in the Northwest, Hans is equally at home as a solo pianist or working with everything from small combos to big bands! Known for his witty and clever songs, he is a gifted composer and arranger, and has been featured on numerous CD recordings in addition to his own projects. Since 1999, he has been the accompanist for the jazz vocal department at Cornish College of the Arts and is in high demand among many singers in the area. Hans is in great demand and maintains a busy performance schedule throughout the year.


“The more you are like yourself, the less you are like someone else, and that's what makes you unique.” —Walt Disne

PHIL DEMAREE   bass, vocals   

Phil is known for his talent and unique sense of humor. A native of Boulder, Co, he attended the University of Northern Colorado under Gene Aitken. He spent several years touring the US and Canada and appearing with such artists as Ray Charles, the Mills Brothers, Dianne Schuur, Joe Williams, and John Gary. In addition to Trish, Hans and Phil, he plays and sings regularly in the Seattle area with Roadside Attraction and the Jim Cutler 18 piece Jazz Orchestra. Phil is not only an amazing talent on bass but he is a skillful music arranger for big bands, symphonies and also writes choral pieces for the Seattle Choral Company. 

"…a bassist to watch" —Christopher DeLaurenti, The Stranger   

"Bassist Demaree has exceptional 'chops'…" —Al Merritt, Jazz Now   

"…a monster player" —Don Goodwin, BeeCraft   

"As a leader, Cutler is generous with solo space for his compatriots, and they all rise to the occasion capably, with Demaree being a notable standout in that regard. Playing standup for the most part, Demaree also shows an adept touch on the fretless electric instrument on Cutler's "Keep Off The Grass," emphasizing the tunes fusion edges without overwhelming its solid jazz underpinnings."   
—Shaun Dale, review of Jim Cutler Quartet on JazzReview.com
