"It was Heraclites observation that 'the river we stepped into is not the same river in which we stand'. For the interpreter of song, that is rare wisdom indeed, and Francesca Sortino, singer of the songs, distils that wisdom and offers us the mysterious, lovesome, and elusive flow of sound and lyric: with, and from , the heart. And that is no small feat. In any age."
Warren P. Blumberg, music rights
"Francesca is a natural talent, with an uncommonly fine ear, and speaking with her, you realize that music is a part of her, as though you were looking at a finished painting.
"
Alessandro Minetto "drummer"
"There are surprisingly many nuances in Francesca's voice that captivate and hold the listener's attention. Try hearing for yourself!"
Luca Perini, music rights
"I have found memories of your singing, you sounded Wonderful
every night!!!!
"
Eliot Zigmund, drummer
"As an accompanist, to play behind Francesca is a real pleasure. She has
such a natural sense for structure, phrasing, and rhythm, that is rare in
today's vocal jazz artists. Her interpretation of jazz standards is
impeccable, at the same time sounding fresh and unpredictable and, most
important, she SWINGS! While you listen to her, she will make your heart
smile!"
Renato Chicco, pianist
""Her voice seems to come from a fairy tale: sometimes unreal, without doubt warm and cheeky, intriguing and capable of delicate grades of light and shade..""
Davide Ielmini (music rights)
""she's perfect, I can't say anything but perfect!" "
Mal Waldron, pianist
""...This woman was born to sing jazz.""
Enrico Pieranunzi pianist
"...three notches above early Diana Kall...great voice, nice surprise!"
James MacFarlano (music rights)
"Her voice delivers sensual overtones, and projects radiance and clarity through a rare natural sense of a song's inner balance"
