JAZZMIA Nights presents Ashley Pezzotti

Jazz vocalist Ashley Pezzotti brings standards, original songs and improvisation to the Westchester Cultural Arts Center as part of JAZZMIA Nights. Presented Monday, October 5, the performance highlights Pezzotti’s approach to jazz vocal tradition, including compositions in English and Spanish influenced by her Dominican heritage.

Pezzotti has performed and recorded with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Arturo Sandoval, Dee Dee Bridgewater and Joey Alexander. Her repertoire moves between classic jazz standards, lesser-known selections and original material, with scat singing playing a prominent role in her performances.

The concert is followed by an open jam session. Tickets are $30, with complimentary admission for students and musicians participating in the jam.
