Pat Wictor and Deborah Latz first met at an improvisational singing workshop led by Bobby McFerrin, and their musical collaboration is all about spontaneity and surprise. Based in Brooklyn, NY but coming from different musical realms - he from the acoustic singer-songwriter world, she from the jazz and performance art scenes - they meet over their shared love of melody, poetry, and possibility. Together they have created a modern folk-jazz vocal duo that showcases tight harmonies and playful improvisation. http://patwictoranddeborahlatz.com
