Recognized by UNESCO as a Jazz Ambassador, Ginetta M. is continually spreading the Gospel of Jazz, what she calls, "America's Greatest Export", through festivals, gigs, workshops, podcasts, and international tours to far flung regions! (Think Uzbekistan, Vladivostok, Moldova, Jakarta, South America, Canada, Mexico and all points in between!) This alumna of North Texas State University is unstoppable and consistently redefining musical and professional boundaries.

On her 6th CD as a bandleader—Fun Size—Ginetta rearranges classic standards and writes two original songs as well. She was also contracte to re-arrange an original Christmas tune which features her sultry vocals along with some holiday bells! The Opening track Ginetta was specifically written for her by one of the Fabulous Baker Boys, Phil Baker, and the interplay between tenor and her pocket trumpet is destined to have you singing the melody incessantly. Her vocals and arrangement on the classic Henry Mancini tune Moon River poignantly harkens back to a simpler time. Tackling the iconic Freddie Hubbard tune Little Sunflower, she rises to the occasion as the band grooves along, building up to a musical crescendo. Her two original tunes, Blues For Pop-Pop and Tell Your Story Walkin' showcase both the band and Ginetta's composer chops. The rest of the tracks (13 in all!) are swinging arrangements by Ginetta M., recorded non-stop in one four hour session, to preserve the improvisational energy and authentic old school jazz vibe.

Ginetta M. started Ginetta's Vendetta about 25 years ago and considers it a New York City institution through which dozens of musical luminaries have cut their teeth! Still going strong, Ginetta's Vendetta is continuing to forge a musical path and bring jazz music, America's iconic original art form, BACK to the forefront of the music industry and eventually to the Superbowl halftime show!!!
