Description
FEATURING:
Leah Randazzo, vocals
Other musicians, TBA
23-year-old composer and vocalist Leah Randazzo is a naturally gifted performer of uncommon charisma who knows how to bring an audience to its feet with her powerful voice and high-energy stage performance. Her original songs, described as jazz-infused R&B and funk, are sophisticated and soulful compositions that belie her young age. The Leah Randazzo Group, a septet that includes vocals, rhythm section, and horns, formed in the spring of 2005 and has been playing throughout the northeast since, including opening for Grammy winner Judy Collins. Leah's stunning debut album "At the Root," produced by Michael Gregory, has been characterized as having a sound that doesn't pigeonhole itself stylistically; musically it's as dynamic and fluid as Randazzo's voice, (Play Magazine).
"Leah Randazzo has a mature songwriting sensibility and the voice to back it up...equal parts jazz, blues and soul, and Randazzo has the chops to hang with upper-echelon singers in any of these genres. Her backing band is equally versatile, moving effortlessly between bombastic funk and self-assured jazz, refraining from overplaying and allowing Randazzo's voice to shine."
- Casey Hayman, Local Buzz, Pioneer Valley
"At their most boisterous - as on the brash "My Weapon" - the band's songs are highly danceable and colored with punchy horn lines. At their most sensitive as on the piano and string-laced Morning Song - they blow the work of Starbucks divas like Norah Jones out of the water."
- Nick R. Scalia, Play Magazine, New Haven, CT
"Backed by a jazz-inflected, horn-heavy septet, Randazzo barrels through earthy R&B and funk on her debut, At the Root. While she's not quite in step with the trendy neo-soul genre, both her voice and her band are probably a bit too big for that pigeonhole anyway."
- Aaron Jentzen, Pittsburgh City Paper, Pittsburgh, PA
"Leah Randazzo came through with her band and they straight killed it."
-Justin Strong, 7thmovement, Inc., Pittsburgh, PA

BAR: n/a TABLE:$10.00More about Blue Note
Blue Note
Regarding the Jazz scene in New York City, one of the Blue Note s managers matter of factly told us This is it. Indeed, the Blue Note is arguably the world s most popular jazz club. Although the club only opened their doors in the early 80 s, it has the feel of a longtime veteran in the New York Jazz scene. Once you get over the commercial feel of the joint, including its gold plaque embedded tables, mediocre meals named after jazz songs, and overpriced gift shop, the Blue Note is truly among the best of its kind. Expect to see world renowned talent on any given day except for Mondays, which is reserved for exceptional local talent. Show times are 9 00 and 11 30 during the week and additional Sunday matinees at 1 00 PM and 3 30 PM. Check the schedule link for show details.Post a Countdown Widget
