Roberta Gambarini - vocals
Jeb Patton - piano

Roberta Gambarini出生于意大利都灵，父母都热爱音乐（实际上他们是在一场爵士音乐会上*次见面），她从小*听着父亲的唱片收藏长大。她*初的声乐灵感来自Louis Armstrong和Ella Fitzgerald，但很快她*发现了Sarah Vaughan、Billie Holiday和Carmen McRae，以及Mahalia Jackson和Bessie Smith等福音和布鲁斯艺术家的声音。

Born and raised in Turin, Italy, to music loving parents (who had actually first met at a jazz concert), Roberta Gambarini grew up constantly listening to her father’s record collection. Her first vocal inspiration was Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald , but she soon discovered Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, and Carmen McRae, as well as gospel and blues artists such as Mahalia Jackson and Bessie Smith.

12岁时，她开始学习单簧管，但意识到自己多才多艺以及具有演唱低音的天赋，她在17岁时转向声乐学习，并在俱乐部演唱。

At age 12 she began studying clarinet, but realizing the versatility and talents of her clear alto, she moved to voice, singing and performing in clubs by the time she was 17.

1998年，Gambarini获得在波士顿的新英格兰音乐学院奖学金继续学习了两年。仅2周后*踏上美国国土的她赢得了1998年Thelonious Monk声乐大赛第三名的成绩。

In 1998, Gambarini received a scholarship to study for two years at the New England Conservatory in Boston.
Barely 2 weeks after setting foot on American soil for the first time, Roberta surprised the jazz world by finishing third in the 1998 Thelonious Monk Vocal Competition.

赢得这个奖项使她的才华也迅速获得了更多音乐家的赏识，邀请她一同演出。从此登上了诸多国际爵士舞台：包括卡内基音乐厅、肯尼迪中心、好莱坞露天剧场、林肯中心爵士乐中心、北海爵士音乐节、翁布里亚爵士音乐节等等。

With this recognition as a springboard and the assistance of some of the greatest musicians in the world, who immediately appreciated her talent and invited her to perform with them, she quickly became a fixture on the international jazz circuit, appearing in major concert halls, Festivals and clubs around the globe ( Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, Hollywood Bowl , Jazz at Lincoln Center , the North Sea Jazz Festival, Umbria Jazz Festival, and many more) .

因此，Roberta开始与各大音乐人一起合作并录制唱片包括：Dave Brubeck, James Moody, Hank Jones, Clark Terry, Herbie Hancock, Jimmy Heath, Roy Hargrove, Jimmy Cobb, Al Foster, Michael & Randy Brecker, Slide Hampton, Frank Wess, Harold Mabern, Toots Thielemans, Paquito D’Rivera, Chucho Valdez, Mark O’Connor, Cyrus Chestnut, Percy Heath, Ron Carter, Johnny Griffin, the Dizzy Gillespie All Stars Big Band, Billy Higgins, Cedar Walton, Ray Drummond, George Cables, Mulgrew Miller, Kenny Burrell, Wynton Marsalis’ Jazz at Lincoln Center orchestra等。

As a result, Roberta has had the good fortune to appear in concert and record with such Giants as Dave Brubeck, James Moody, Hank Jones, Clark Terry, Herbie Hancock, Jimmy Heath, Roy Hargrove, Jimmy Cobb, Al Foster, Michael & Randy Brecker, Slide Hampton, Frank Wess, Harold Mabern, Toots Thielemans, Paquito D’Rivera, Chucho Valdez, Mark O’Connor, Cyrus Chestnut, Percy Heath, Ron Carter, Johnny Griffin, the Dizzy Gillespie All Stars Big Band, Billy Higgins, Cedar Walton, Ray Drummond, George Cables, Mulgrew Miller, Kenny Burrell, Wynton Marsalis’ Jazz at Lincoln Center orchestra, and many others.

Roberta的*张专辑《Easy to love》获得了格莱美奖提名，她的第三张专辑《So in love》还获得了法国爵士学院2009年爵士歌手大奖赛的提名。她两次被美国爵士记者协会(2007年和2009年)评为“年度爵士女歌手”。

Roberta’s first CD, ‘Easy to love’, was nominated for a Grammy Award as was her third, ‘So in love’ ,which was also awarded the Grand Prix du Jazz Vocal 2009 by the Jazz Academy of France. She was twice named the “Female Jazz Singer of the Year” by the Jazz Journalists Association (2007 & 2009).

20世纪*重要的音乐人物之一：已故的Benny Carter曾提到称Roberta是他*喜欢的歌手。传奇萨克斯管演奏家兼歌唱家James Moody是Roberta的导师，他把Roberta介绍到世界上许多主要的演出场地。

One of the most important music figures of the 20th century: the late Benny Carter, cited Roberta as his favorite singer. James Moody, the legendary saxophonist and singer, was Roberta’s mentor and teacher, and introduced her to many of the major venues in the world.

2008年，Roberta与传奇钢琴家Hank Jones共同录制了一张名为《You are there》的二重唱专辑。Hank Jones曾与Ella Fitzgerald、Sarah Vaughan、Frank Sinatra、Peggy Lee、Carmen McRae和Nat King Cole等20世纪**的歌唱家同场演出合作。

In 2008 Roberta recorded a superb duet album titled ‘You are there’ with the Legendary pianist Hank Jones. Mr. Jones, who accompanied most of the celebrated vocalists of 20th Century such as Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Frank Sinatra, Peggy Lee, Carmen McRae, and Nat King Cole, declared Roberta Gambarini to be the best singer to emerge in the last 60 years .

2015年，Roberta录制了另一位导师：萨克斯大师、作曲家、编曲家Jimmy Heath的作品集。这张专辑名为《Connecting Spirits》，与传奇人物Heath Brothers和鼓手Tootie Heath合作。收录了Roberta为Heath先生的歌曲所作的一些歌词，还有Jimmy自己写的歌词。

In 2015, Roberta recorded a collection of compositions written by yet another of her mentors : Master saxophonist, composer and arranger Jimmy Heath .The album is called ‘Connecting Spirits’ and includes some of Roberta’s own lyrics to Mr Heath’s songs along with lyrics written by Jimmy himself, performed with the legendary Heath Brothers, with Master drummer Tootie Heath.

每隔一段时间，*会有一位拥有美丽、个性和才能的真正伟大的歌手*会出现，并提醒我们（没有*技术伎俩的帮助！）人类声音存在的魅力与神奇。那位歌手是ROBERTA GAMBARINI。

Every once in a while, a truly great singer comes along who possesses the beauty, individuality, and talent to remind us once again of the magical majesty of the human voice
( without the aid of today’s technological tricks! ) .

That singer is ROBERTA GAMBARINI.
