| Vanessa Racci |
| |
| Congratulazioni to NIAF friend and longtime support Vanessa Racci on the launch of her new album, Jazzy Italian. The album celebrates Italians and Italian Americans who left their mark on jazz from Nick LaRocca to Frank Sinatra to Louis Prima, Chick Corea and John Pizzarelli; even the studied jazz listener will be surprised as to how many songs Italian Americans contributed to our great book of standards, such as At Last, September in the Rain, Moon River and more! The album makes a great gift or stocking stuffer; grab a physical or digital copy on Amazon.com or stream on Spotify, Apple Music or wherever music is sold.
