Denise Donatelli, a San Jose Jazz Winter Fest 2011 favorite, is able to imbue whatever she chooses to sing with her special warmth, wit and insight. She has recorded four albums, including Soul Shadows, which received a 2012 Grammy® nomination for Best Jazz Vocal Album. Her delightful, unerring pitch has been featured in several promos and commercials.
For this special performance, Donatelli brings with her three remarkable musicians: pianist, composer and former Jazz Messenger Geoffrey Keezer; Essiet Essiet, Art Blakey's last bassist; and drummer Sylvia Cuenca, a San Jose native who's worked with Stan Getz, Clark Terry, and Billy Taylor and toured extensively with Joe Henderson.
