Join me for the Oct. 12, 2020, edition of After Hours on KCAW Raven Radio as I’m joined in conversation with Italian-born jazz singer, now living in New York City, Roberta Gambarini.

Roberta moved to the U.S. in 1998 and won a scholarship to the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. A few weeks after her arrival in America, she entered the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Vocals Competition and came in third behind Teri Thornton and Jane Monheit.

She was invited to sing in New York City, where she met Benny Carter and James Moody. Moody became her teacher, mentor and friend.
