SUNDAY, NOV 17 THE CALIFORNIA JAZZ ARTS SOCIETY CalJAS Presents
GINA SAPUTO CD Release Party featuring Matt Politano on piano
After much anticipation, Gina finally releases a new full album. The record, DUETTO, features Gina’s long time pianist Matt Politano on 12 intimate tracks. She sings a rare cut of Sarah Vaughan’s with I’m Scared and Frank Sinatra’s poignant ballad, I Could Have Told You, woven with familiar standards including A Foggy Day, Emily, Ain’t Misbehavin’, and many more. Gina and Matt display a deep and playful connection with each song. Matt Politano interacts with Gina’s warm understated approach to the voice in a camaraderie that can only be built with years of trust and friendship.
Duetto is not to be missed!
