"Chiara Izzi has crashed the Jazz party in a big way. Since 2010, she has racked up award after award and received the highest acclaim from Jazz legends. She has swept Jazz contests in her native Italy such as a first place at the Lucca Jazz Donna and a third place at the Chicco Bettinardi, both in 2010, to international fame at the Montreaux Jazz Festival Vocal Competition in 2011 (later opening for Paco de Lucia) and Poland’s Voicingers 2012." Travis Rogers, Jazz Times

Izzi will perform songs from her debut album “Motifs” released though Dot Time Records (DT 9026) in New York-- a charming and delightful introduction to audiences who have yet to hear what she has to offer.

“Sister, you are very very talented!” – Quincy Jones

“Having travelled to and performed in Italy for the last 35 years, I have met many Italian rising stars and have seen them to go on to achieve international recognition. Chiara is one of those rising stars that I speak of. She has the talent, passion, devotion, musicianship, and professionalism that is required for success”. – Bobby Watson

“Chiara Izzi is really one of the most talented young jazz singers I have ever heard in a very long time. Her way of presenting melodies and lyrics are very unique,and the way she sings scat like an instrument is totally mind blowing”. – Lars Danielsson
