AYANA LOWE - VOCALIST

Ayana Lowe, “One of the most beautiful instruments I've ever heard." --Brian Delp - WBGO Jazz radio

The incredibly soulful Ayana Lowe,who really totally blew me away. Just a incredible amount of joy, emotion, blues, soul, and just a real bounty of life and music. --John Rodgers - jazz photographer/writer

“Ayana Lowe, fairly a newcomer to the jazz vocal scene, already sings with the confidence and maturity of a veteran vocalist in her approach and delivery. I expect to hear much more from her in the future." --Laurence Donohue-Greene, Managing Editor AllAboutJazz-New York

Patrizia Scascitelli “...Patrizia's style is not complicated, but she is a marvelous melodist who presents her attractive lines with a distinct clarity and strong feeling. Listeners do not have to work hard to enjoy themselves." --Ira Gitler, renowned jazz critic
