“Sanzone has a voice like the caramel layer in a piece of caramel slice…so smooth, warm, and pliable…and you’d definitely want a second serve with another piece to take home. It’s rich and beautiful.” – Lissa Christopher, SMH.
Acknowledged as one of Australia’s most distinguished jazz and soul artists, multilingual vocalist, Virna Sanzone has performed across a diverse range of genres with an impressive list of Australian greats, including Paul Grabowsky, Paul Kelly, David Campbell, and Tina Arena to name a few.
Virna will be joined by her long-time collaborators and three of Sydney’s most esteemed musicians, pianist Matt McMahon, bassist Jonathan Zwartz, and drummer Hamish Stuart.
With a sensitivity, spontaneity, and synergy that can only come from years of collaboration, together they will breathe new life into much-loved standards and effortlessly reinvent little-known gems. This will be an evening of exploratory, multicultural jazz and soul-infused music at its finest!
