Alongside Gambi and White, pianist Helen Sung, cellist Jisoo Ok, guitarist Tom Guarna and bassist Ollie Bomann will bring their talents to the stage. "I'm excited to be back on the stage again, ” Gambi shares. “I believe that live music is a magic cure. It heals the listener and the musician at the same time.” Letizia Gambi's music is a combination of her Neapolitan-Italian roots with the heritage of Black American Jazz. Her Mediterranean passion sings through Jazz's language in a contemporary, personal style. This international award-winning singer-songwriter is considered one of the most versatile and talented vocalists of her generation. She has recorded and worked with many renowned artists, including Gato Barbieri, Chick Corea, Ron Carter, Gil Goldstein, Wallace Roney, Patrice Rushen, Lenny White, Donald Vega, Helen Sung, Dave Stryker and Antonio Farao. Letizia graduated with a Masters Degree in Jazz Vocal Performance at the Jazz School “Civica Scuola di Musica Claudio Abbado" in Milan. She has represented Italy in Japan at the Italian Cultural Institute in Osaka and Tokyo. At the invitation of the Italian General Consul, Letizia performed with a 100-piece orchestra and choir for the celebration of the Italian Republic's Anniversary in Rosario, Argentina. She has also performed in Capodistria, Slovenia under the auspices of the Italian Consul General for the Italian Republic's Anniversary. Her two albums, Introducing Letizia Gambi (2012) and Blue Monday (2016), were candidates for Grammy Awards as Best Vocal Jazz Album and Best Arrangements for Vocals. Both were produced by legendary Lenny White. |
