IAP 59: The Italian American connection to Jazz Music

In this episode of The Italian American Podcast, we focus on the Italian American connection to Jazz music. We speak to singer Vanessa Racci about how her grandfather inspired her to embark upon a journey that has allowed her to connect with her heritage deeply through becoming Italian American Jazz performer. In our Stories Segment, I talk to Bill Dal Cerro and David Anthony Witter authors of the book Bebop, Swing, and Bella Musica: Jazz and the Italian American Experience. They talk about how Jazz has been influenced Italians and Italian Americans. Episode Sponsors Mediaset Italia
