"A very young but extremely talented singer also appears at the Ritz but downstairs with the B4 jazz trio. This up-and-coming star will blow you away with her perfect pitch and her handling of jazz standards. She proved a revelation on opening night of the 3rd National Jazz Fest of Cancun currently under way"
