Review:

This is the hundredth and twenty-seventh in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Support live music – even when it’s streamed!

Ashley Pezzotti, who was born in Queens, New York, took classical voice lessons starting when she was four and in 2018 graduated from the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music.

In addition to her strong and beautiful voice, Ms. Pezzotti is notable for composing songs that sound as if they are from the Great American Songbook but are actually quite recent.

She has performed and recorded with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra and sung with Dave Holland, recording her debut album We’ve Only Just Begun in 2019.

On her LiveStream from Aug. 8, 2020, Ashley Pezzotti (who is on the brink of being discovered) along with the tasteful pianist Matt Wigler perform some of her originals plus “Body and Soul,” a scat-filled uptempo version of “Confirmation,” and an extended exploration of “All Of Me.”
