DESCRIPTION:Based in New York City since 2014\, Chiara Izzi is an award-wi
 nning jazz singer and composer from Italy who has captivated audiences wor
 ldwide. Her breakthrough came when she won first prize at the prestigious 
 Montreux Jazz Festival Vocal Competition\, a victory personally awarded by
  the legendary Quincy Jones\, who chaired the jury. The following year\, C
 hiara returned to the festival to perform and open for the iconic Paco de 
 Lucía. She has since earned numerous accolades\, including an Independent
  Music Award for Best Jazz Song with Vocals for her composition "Circles o
 f the Mind\," as well as national honors such as Lucca Jazz Donna\, third 
 place in the Chicco Bettinardi soloist category\, and recognition in the B
 arga Jazz group category.Since moving to the United States\, Chiara has be
 come one of the most sought-after vocalists\, gracing world-renowned stage
 s like The Kennedy Center\, Montreux Jazz Festival\, Aspen Jazz Festival\,
  and Sarasota Jazz Festival. She has also performed at iconic NYC clubs li

 recording with jazz luminaries such as Kevin Hays\, Chris Potter\, Omer Av
 ital\, Grégoire Maret\, Leon Parker\, Diego Figueiredo\, Jeff Hamilton\, 
 Aaron Goldberg\, Nilson Matta\, Eliot Zigmund\, and many more.Chiara first
  showcased her exceptional vocal talent with her debut album Motifs (Dot-T
 ime\, 2013)\, earning critical acclaim for its eclectic mix of genres. Sin
 ging in English\, Italian\, and Portuguese\, the album highlights her mult
 ilingual skills and vocal prowess\, as well as her ability to convey both 
 emotional depth and vibrant swing. In an All About Jazz review\, Michael B
 ailey called her “a force of nature\,” while JazzTimes' Travis Rogers 
 praised her as “a talent to be heard\, admired\, and anticipated.” Her
  evolving artistry is showcased in later works\, including Live in Bremen 
 (Dot-Time Records\, 2022)\, which DownBeat described as “Immediate and u
 nfiltered\, Izzi’s performances lie all the more exposed for the open se
 tting\,” and Across the Sea (Jando\, 2019)\, a co-led project with piani
 st 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”.Chiara’s voice and talent have flourished in the vibrant cultura
 l tapestry of New York City\, helping her evolve into a profound storytell
 er\, musician\, and human being. For Chiara\, music is not just an art for
 m but a bridge between worlds. With her soulful storytelling\, musical ver
 satility\, and commitment to fostering cross-cultural dialogue\, Chiara ha
 s cemented herself as one of the most impactful voices in contemporary jaz

 AXS __________________________________________________ short bio: 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 i
 n the Montreux Jazz Festival Vocal Competition. In 2020 she also won one
  Independent Music Award for Best Jazz song with Vocals with her compo
 sition “Circles Of The Mind''. She perfectly blends traditional Italian
  music with jazz\, Mediterranean and pop sounds to create a dynamic and 
 heartwarming show\, singing and telling stories in four languages (Italian
 \, English\, Portuguese and Spanish).Chiara navigates each idiom fluently\
 , on its own terms of engagement\, displaying her prodigious vocal instrum
 ent\, refined musicianship\, inherent soulfulness\, and ability to convey 
 both emotional transparency and ebullient swing. In an All About Jazz revi
 ew Michael Bailey praised Chiara as “a force of nature\,” while in J
 azz Times Travis Rogers described her as “a talent to be heard\, admire
 d and anticipated.” How that talent has evolved and blossomed since Chi
 ara moved to New York is apparent on her latest releases: Live In Bremen
  (Dot Time Records/2022) that embodies a classical richness enhanced by I
 zzi’s stylistic method of blending her lyrics and languages\, and  Acro
 ss The Sea (Jando/2019)\, a cooperative project with pianist Kevin Hays wh
 o 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”. Deliv
 ering a vocal that carries a warm\, Mediterranean quality\, Izzi acknowled
 ges that experiencing music in a highly inspiring place like New York Ci
 ty  brings out her best assets as a storyteller\, musician\, and human be
 ing. “It’s very important for me to make music as a peacemaker\, to
  work creating bridges between different worlds\, to put different culture
 s in communication starting from the music.” says Chiara.
