This week on The Italian Radio Hour - What do jazz and Italian-American music have in common? Join my conversation with Vanessa Racci, a jazz and cabaret singer who brings a unique fusion of jazz and Italian-American classics to life. During this interview, she shares the story of the interconnection between the history of Italian American and African American communities in New Orleans - where Italian immigrants learned and performed jazz alongside Black musicians. This mutual cultural influence, notably through figures like Nick LaRocca of the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, motivated Racci to advocate for Italian American legacies in jazz and the broader music landscape and recently, Vanessa established a nonprofit organization to promote and preserve Italian American contributions to music, especially in jazz.
