Did you know that jazz standards such as At Last and Moon River were composed by Italian Americans? That's right. Italian Americans were instrumental in jazz from its beginnings in New Orleans to modern day.
About Vanessa Racci:
Vanessa Racci is a touring Jazz vocalist who is equally comfortable singing straight-ahead Jazz as well as music that reflects her Italian heritage. Descended from Southern Italian immigrants, she grew up living with her Barese grandfather, who played Jazz and Italian classics throughout the house. This inspired her to combine her two loves of Jazz and Italian heritage in her first self-released album, Italiana Fresca, in 2017, produced by David Finck and arranged by Yaron Gershovsky of Manhattan Transfer.
