SUMMARY:Chiara Izzi
DESCRIPTION:Chiara is an award-winning jazz singer and composer from Ital
 y based in New York City since 2014\, three years after Quincy Jones awa
 rded her first prize in the 2011 Montreuz Jaa Festival Vocal Competition
 . In 2020 she also won one Independent Music Award for Best Jazz song wi
 th vocals with her composition Circles of the Mind. She perfectly blends
  traditional Italian music with jazz\, Mediterranean and pop sounds to c
 reate a dynamic and heartwarming show\, singing and telling stories in f
 our languages (Italian\, English\, Portuguese and Spanish). Chiara navig
 ates each idiom fluently\, on its own terms of engagement\, displaying h
 er prodigious vocal instrument\, refined musicianship\, inherent soulful
 ness\, and ability to convey both emotional transparency and ebullient s
 wing. In an All About Jazz review Michael Bailey praised Chiara as “a fo
 rce of nature\,” while in Jazz Times Travis Rogers described her as “a t
 alent to be heard\, admired and anticipated.” How that talent has evolve
 d and blossomed since Chiara moved to New York is apparent on her latest
  releases: Live In Bremen (Dot Time Records/2022) that embodies a classi
 cal richness enhanced by Izzi’s stylistic method of blending her lyrics 
 and languages\, and Across The Sea (Jando/2019)\, a cooperative project 
 with pianist Kevin Hays who says about Chiara: “There was a sense of sin
 cerity and honesty — a lack of artifice. She has an inner strength that 
 I think is rare” . Delivering a vocal that carries a warm\, Mediterranea
 n quality\, Izzi acknowledges that experiencing music in a highly inspir
 ing place like New York City brings out her best assets as a storyteller
 \, musician\, and human being. “It’s very important for me to make music
  as a peacemaker\, to work creating bridges between different worlds\, t
 o put different cultures in communication starting from the music.” says
  Chiara. "Sister\, you are very very talented!” - QUINCY JONES "A talent
  to be heard\, admired and anticipated" - Travis Rogers\, JAZZ TIMES\n\n
