The Pizza Express
“Mancio's performance—often within arrangements that would expose any weakness—puts her at the top of the ever-growing tree of jazz vocalists" —All About Jazz.
Award-winning jazz vocalist Georgia Mancio presents a season of international and national artists in reflection of her far-reaching influences. In just a decade of professional work Mancio has established herself as one of the UK's most important new artists. Her highly acclaimed album, Silhouette (Roomspin Records, 2010), demonstrates her formidable skills as a lyricist and writer as well as an interpreter of jazz standards, Latin American classics and new originals.
The singer will be curating five nights of innovative jazz at the Pizza Express Jazz Club in London's Soho as well as performing a duo set each night with a star selection of musicians.
