Jazz: Roberta Gambarini.
24 February at 21h at the Cultural Centre, calle Granada in Nerja.
Celebrated throughout the world by fans, critics and many of the
world’s greatest musicians, Roberta Gambarini became a fast-rising
star – and a GRAMMY Nominee - with the 2006 release of her debut
album, ‘Easy to Love.’
A smashing success on all fronts, Roberta’s
debut secured her spot on the international touring circuit, where she
continuously graces the most prestigious venues and festivals. In
2008, she made her major label debut with ‘You Are There,’ a superb
duet with the legendary pianist Hank Jones.
Mr. Jones – who
accompanied most of the celebrated vocalists of the 20th century such
as Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan, Carmen McRae, Peggy
Lee, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Nat “King” Cole, and Billy Eckstine –
declared Ms. Gambarini as the best singer to emerge in over 60 years.
The Boston Globe named Roberta as the “true successor to Ella
Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, and Carmen McRae.”
After her performance on the stage in Nerja, on the 24th february 2011, Roberta Gambarani conducted a jazz singer's workshop at Alahurìn de la Torre from 24th to 27th February 2011 and managed to give a concert on the last day. (poster here)
