SUMMARY:Chiara Izzi
LOCATION:The Sound Room\, 2147 Broadway\, Oakland\, CA 94612
DESCRIPTION:Chiara is an award-winning jazz singer and composer from Italy 
 based in New York City since 2014\, three years after Quincy Jones awarded
  her first prize in the 2011 Montreuz Jaa Festival Vocal Competition. In 2
 020 she also won one Independent Music Award for Best Jazz song with vocal
 s with her composition Circles of the Mind. She perfectly blends tradition
 al Italian music with jazz\, Mediterranean and pop sounds to create a dyna
 mic and heartwarming show\, singing and telling stories in four languages 
 (Italian\, English\, Portuguese and Spanish).\n\nChiara navigates each idi
 om fluently\, on its own terms of engagement\, displaying her prodigious v
 ocal instrument\, refined musicianship\, inherent soulfulness\, and abilit
 y to convey both emotional transparency and ebullient swing. In an All Abo
 ut Jazz review Michael Bailey praised Chiara as “a force of nature\,” 
 while in Jazz Times Travis Rogers described her as “a talent to be heard
 \, admired and anticipated.” How that talent has evolved and blossomed s
 ince Chiara moved to New York is apparent on her latest releases: Live In 
 Bremen (Dot Time Records/2022) that embodies a classical richness enhanced
  by Izzi’s stylistic method of blending her lyrics and languages\, and A
 cross The Sea (Jando/2019)\, a cooperative project with pianist Kevin Hays
  who says about Chiara: “There was a sense of sincerity and honesty — 
 a lack of artifice. She has an inner strength that I think is rare”. Del
 ivering a vocal that carries a warm\, Mediterranean quality\, Izzi acknowl
 edges that experiencing music in a highly inspiring place like New York Ci
 ty brings out her best assets as a storyteller\, musician\, and human bein
 g. “It’s very important for me to make music as a peacemaker\, to work
  creating bridges between different worlds\, to put different cultures in 
 communication starting from the music.” says Chiara.\n\n\n"Sister\, you
