Hamptons Jazz Fest will present duo, vocalist Mafalda Minnozzi and guitarist Paul Ricci and their quintet at The Church in Sag Harbor on Thursday, August 24, from 5:30 to 8 p.m.
Minnozzi’s vocal range and versatile timbral pallet, coupled with her charismatic stage presence blurs the dividing line between singer and improviser. Ricci’s unique fingerpicking style jazz, influenced by and infused with bossa and blues, has amazed fellow guitarists and jazz critics alike.
