Her phrasing and time are impeccable and the music is uplifting and fresh with
sprinklings of Soul, Bluesy Jazz, BeBop and Brazilian motifs. Trish is the creator
and former owner of Jazz Jam Cafe an intimate jazz performance venue in Northern
California. Currently, she holds the Vocal Forum Workshop, an on-going rehearsal
group for singers. She also teaches beginning voice training by appointment,
for motivated & dedicated vocalists.
Trish Mairet was raised by parents who loved music.
She was named after the popular tune from the 50's,
"PATRICIA," a cha cha by PEREZ PRADO
Her mother had a satiny Sarah Vaughan style contralto voice and from her she learned
concepts like phrasing, timing, lyrical expressions and improvisation. Her grandmother
sang and played the piano and organ by ear. By listening to her grandmother,
she began to simulate some piano voicings and essentially began a study of ear training.
Trish grew up listening to all styles of music. At the age of 10, her favorite Country
artists were Ray Charles, Roger Miller & Johnny Cash. Her sister played a lot of R&B
& "Motown," especially artists like The Four Tops,The Temptations, Smoky Robinson &
Steve Wonder, whose influences opened her up to Soul and Blues.
