| “Jean Mazzei has a very special thing that audiences will really dig. She’s terrific!” Kurt Elling, Bluenote recording artist
“… an exceptional jazz vocalist.” Sherry Sly, West Coast Performer Magazine
Jean has jammed and studied with some of the great vocalists of our time including Kitty Margolis , Kurt Elling, Madeline Eastman, Kevin Mahogany, and Mark Murphy. In addition to these great teachers, some of her largest influences have been Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, Carmen McRae, and Sarah Vaughan. Her voice is warm and silky, and whether it’s swing or sultry, ballads or bluesy, Jean Mazzei’s Jazztet creates the perfect combination of backdrop and entertainment for any event. Music can set the tone for any event, and if you are looking for “casual elegance,” your search ends here.
Jean’s debut CD, “At Last,” released May 2005, has 12 cuts, 2 of which are originals. Featuring Anton Schwartz on tenor sax, her arrangements are fresh, yet accessible. “My Foolish Heart” and “Alice in Wonderland” feature the Paul Nagel trio, currently touring with Boz Scaggs. Currently Jean is playing with screamin' cats such as John Mazzei, Anton Schwartz , Vince Lateano, John Wiitala, Dan Feiszli, Jeff Buenz, Jason Lewis, John Clark, and John Shifflett. Everyone is lovin' it and having a great time on gigs. |
