Jazz artist Tamela D'Amico will be joined by her septet at the newly opened venue Tian at the Riverbank in Harlem. She has been gaining a great deal of attention as a formidable song stylist and highly appealing jazz singer. She will be performing fresh arrangements of standards from her CD Got A Little Story, her recent single “Down With Love," and originals co-written with singer/songwriter Billy Vera at Tian at the Riverbank as part of Make Music New York at 8:30 pm on June 21.

Make Music New York is a live, free musical celebration across the city that takes place on June 21—the longest day of the year. The New Yorker calls it “An eleven-hour escapade of musical creativity."

“Tamela D'Amico transports us back in time—to a place where bands were big and dames sang sweet—and the jazz was sublime."

The No Cover Charge event reinforces the timelessness and relevance of jazz both in Ms. D'Amico's interpretations of classic jazz standards and her songwriting abilities.

Ms. D'Amico's debut CD Got A Little Story, executive produced by television star Peter Krause (Parenthood, Six Feet Under) and produced and engineered by Grammy winner Jimmy Hoyson, went into worldwide release in 2010 through LML records/Allegro Distribution.

“My concept for the album was to perform jazz standards that were either not recorded very often or were usually recorded by men and arrange them in a manner that made them swing in an exciting way to gain new jazz lovers. I am very blessed to have teamed up with arranger Chris Walden who makes the album sound exactly as I had imagined it in my head." Among the highlights is her transformation of the Beatles' “And I Love Her" into the Billie Holiday inspired" And I Love Him."
