“From the first notes the listener will realize that Ms. Ricciardi is a major new talent, a pure jazz singer with a great voice and solid technique. Her silky smooth voice, perfect enunciation, sunny disposition, cool approach and just the right amount of vibrato remind me of some of the greatest jazz singers of all time, like Carmen McRae and Betty Carter. She’s not an entertainer, she’s a jazz singer.”- NORMAN SIMMONS Pianist, Composer and Accompanist for Carmen McRae, Sarah Vaughan, Betty Carter, Anita O’Day “A master phraser with a fresh point of view, Ricciardi is alternately surrealistic and swinging” - TED PANKEN (DownBeat Magazine) www.alicericciardi.com www.gibigianarecords.com "COMES LOVE" @bluenoterecords In their first duo album “CATCH A FALLING STAR”, just released for the newborn Gibigiana Records founded by the artists themselves, besides original music, singer Alice Ricciardi and pianist Pietro Lussu pick through their favorites from various musical sources: the majesty of the American Songbook, Pop Music from the 50s and 60s (Perry Como, The Beach Boys), Contemporary Music. In a very eclectic musical program the “fil rouge” is embodied by the unique sound and cool approach of the duo who embraces the music with love, curiosity, intimacy, and spontaneity. The distinctive and dynamic interplay, as well as the sense of suspension, allusion, are all expressions that the listener completes in a myriad of personal interpretations.
