The Art of the Song

 

Alice Ricciardi has delighted critics and audiences alike with her sensitive interpretations of standards and effortless sense of swing. Her warm and compelling voice is in authentic syntony with the most pure tradition of vocal jazz, reminding listeners of the elegance and swing found in jazz legends such as Carmen McRae and Ella Fitzgerald.

Through the alluring suggestions of the great American Songbook repertoire, she brings to light the great classics and other less well-known but equally precious compositions written by the masters of the song such as Gershwin, Porter, Rodgers and Hart, Strayhorn, Styne, Arlen, Berlin, Kern.
