Grammy-nominated jazz vocalist Roberta Gambarini is one of the most heralded talents of her generation and here on 'You Are There' she finds herself in her ideal environment as a duet partner with the legendary pianist, Hank Jones.

Although she was born and bred in Italy, Gambarini brings a distinctly American jazz flavor to 'You Are There.' Indeed her multi-octave range can be seen as an indication of the "cool school" but when she starts swinging she’s anything but cool! Her scats and melodies breathe beautifully and her melodic lines have a lighter, airier quality that finds her swinging but in a softer, more relaxed manner.

Heralded as a true successor to Ella Fitzgerald and even Sarah Vaughan, on 'You Are There' Gambarini's sound is clean and solid. Her voice is rich, smooth, and faultless through her extensive range. Her pitch is spot on, her phrasing opens up the songs, and her time just swings.
