Harmony

Duchess

Active since: 2014

Sure-footed swing, sweet-toned harmony, and ever-insouciant charm are embodied in the jazz vocal trio Duchess, featuring notable New York singers Amy Cervini, Hilary Gardner, and Melissa Stylianou. Blending the classic and the contemporary, the trio has performed at major festivals and esteemed clubs throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, and Israel, making it their business to connect through joy.

Duchess first convened in 2013 at Greenwich Village’s now bygone 55 Bar, with what had initially seemed like a one-off gig ending up as obvious musical kismet. The trio recorded the studio albums Duchess (2015) and Laughing at Life (2017), prompting Downbeat Magazine to declare, “For a good time, call Duchess.” Then came the EP Harmony for the Holidays (2018) and Live at the Jazz Standard (2020), the latter an atmospheric souvenir from another beloved, now-shuttered Manhattan club. Their latest album, A Marvelous Party (2026), is a shindig in song that spins the tale of a party in all its scenes and shades of feeling, from eager anticipation and dizzy elation to wistful ennui and, ultimately, warm-hearted appreciation of it all.
