Danica brings together four acclaimed musicians—vocalist Audrey Silver, pianist Hyuna Park, bassist
Jennifer Vincent, and guitarist Alicyn Yaffee—for performances that are as captivating as they are
heartfelt. With fresh takes on jazz standards and original compositions, the group is defined by its
musical chemistry, warmth, and dynamic interplay.
Danica is rooted in collaboration, nuance, and expressive storytelling. Featuring vocalist Audrey
Silver, pianist Hyuna Park, bassist Jennifer Vincent, and guitarist Alicyn Yaffee, the group unites four
accomplished musicians with a shared focus on thoughtful interpretation and creative interplay.
Audrey Silver’s vocal style is known for its clarity and emotional depth. Hot House Jazz Magazine
describes her voice as
“exquisite—warm and inviting, pairing a velvet-laden timbre with impeccable phrasing.” Her approach
centers the band’s repertoire, which includes original compositions and fresh takes on jazz standards.
Hyuna Park adds a distinctive voice on piano, marked by sensitivity and rhythmic drive. She was awarded
first prize at the 2018 International Women in Jazz Festival and has been praised by All About Jazz for
her “dancing rhythmic sense, fluid phrasing, refined harmonic taste and precious touch.”
Jennifer Vincent brings decades of experience as a bassist, having performed, toured, and recorded with
artists including the Duke Ellington Orchestra, Betty Carter, Abbey Lincoln, KD Lang, Fantasia, Vanessa
Williams, and Patti LaBelle. Her playing provides a steady, grounded presence that supports and enhances
the group’s sound.
Alicyn Yaffee contributes a unique and personal approach to the guitar. All About Jazz describes her as
having “bell-clear guitar playing... angular and cranky and melodic and progressive. She emulates no one
save herself.” Her playing adds a wide palette of textures, from lyrical lines to more exploratory
moments.
Together, Danica creates a space for honest musical conversation—where each musician brings her full
voice and listens deeply. Their performances highlight individual artistry while maintaining a cohesive
and intimate group sound.

"Danica was a hit with our audience at Make
Music New York this summer. They attracted a
lot of walk ups who joined for the entire
performance! Our audiences loved hearing the
familiar jazz standards beautifully performed.
The band was prompt (even early!) and easy-
going around set up and break down. Easy to
work with and a real audience pleaser!"
Shaul Dover
Owner of Jazz on Main, Mt. Kisco, NY
"Hosting Audrey Silver and her band, Danica, at
my club was an absolute joy. They brought not
only world-class musicianship, but also a
professionalism and warmth that made every
moment a pleasure. Their performance was both
captivating and deeply authentic, with Audrey’s
engaging stories—equal parts humorous and
heartfelt—creating a genuine connection with
the audience. Danica’s seamless blend of
talent, chemistry, and magnetic stage presence
transformed the evening into something truly
unforgettable. I look forward to the day we
welcome them back."
