For those not in the know, Maria Corsaro’s love of music and performing began early in her life. She received her first undergraduate degree in theater and after graduation joined an off-Broadway theater company.

In her early twenties, living in Greenwich Village during this fertile period for theater, music and the arts, Maria found herself gravitating to jazz clubs where she met and hung out with many great jazz musicians and steeped herself in that extraordinary art form.

Realizing, as many young artists do, that hanging in jazz clubs and working Off Broadway do not make one a living, Maria spent many years in a rewarding, but nonmusical career.

But jazz kept beckoning, and in recent years she returned to singing and her love of jazz and has been performing the music of legendary jazz composers and lyricists in various venues in NYC, Boston, Nashville, Pennsylvania and Connecticut, and has just recorded her first CD, “Love Makes The Changes” (due out November 21st, 2025).

Combining her love of jazz with her experiences of story-telling as a theater and cabaret artist, this new recording opens on the buoyant If You Never Fall in Love with Me and the sultry smooth In April, and then we get brought forth the glistening Secret Love / Never Said (Chan’s Song), the effortlessly serene (You Don’t Know) How Glad I Am, the immersive No More Blues and then comes the embracing You Taught My Heart to Sing.

Along next is the emotive Love Makes the Changes and the quieted hushes within Portrait in Black and White and they are in turn followed seamlessly by a dutiful warmth within Stolen Moments, the strident Walkin’ Shoes, the set rounding out on the demure elegance of I Have the Feeling I’ve Been Here Before, coming to a close on the sheerness of That Day.
