Episode 12 - Interview with Vanessa Racci

November 07, 2020 / Matthew Johnson

Nico Toliano brings his Wooden Spoon brand to the Network with his new podcast, "The Sit Down." On the show, Nico takes a seat with other distinguished Italian and Italian-Americans to talk about their lives, what it means to be Italian, their traditions, and much more!

Nico sits down with the very talented Italian American Jazz singer Vanessa Racci! About Vanessa: Growing up with her Barese (Southern Italian) grandfather in New York, Vanessa learned Italian American classics at an early age. She developed as a singer in musical theater, discovered her love for jazz in her early 20’s and started performing with a trio.

After her grandfather passed away, Vanessa was inspired to reinvent the Italian American classics that he taught her with modern jazz arrangements. Her mission; to keep the music alive for future generations, and in turn, her grandfather’s memory. She teamed up with Gianni Valenti of Birdland Jazz Club, NYC, producer, David Finck, and Manhattan Transfer arranger, Yaron Gershovsky, to realize her vision. The result was a sold out album release show at Birdland in June, 2017 and a very unique album entitled, “Italiana Fresca”, that reached #65 on the jazz charts. Since then, she has performed at over 70 Italian festivals, events and jazz clubs across the country and has been played on over 20 Italian radio stations across the US and Italy.
