"Chiara Izzi has crashed the Jazz party in a big way. Since 2010, she has racked up award after award and received the highest acclaim from Jazz legends. She has swept Jazz contests in her native Italy such as a first place at the Lucca Jazz Donna and a third place at the Chicco Bettinardi, both in 2010, to international fame at the Montreaux Jazz Festival Vocal Competition in 2011 (later opening for Paco de Lucia) and Poland’s Voicingers 2012."
