Elisabetta Antonini is the first Italian vocalist to sign with prestigious label Candid Records. In 2014, she won the Best New Talent category in Top Jazz, Italy's most prestigious jazz awards, published by Italian Monthly Musica Jazz. A sophisticated singer, as well as a talented composer and arranger, Antonini is highly active on the jazz scene, participating in shows and festivals throughout Europe, Asia and South America, and performing a varied repertoire which ranges from the American Songbook to original works and contemporary jazz. She has collaborated with many internationally acclaimed musicians, including Kenny Wheeler, Paul McCandless, Paolo Fresu, Javier Girotto, Francesco Bearzatti, Jim Rotondi, Dado Moroni, Roberto Gatto, Maurizio Giammarco and Enrico Pieranunzi. Her new release, (R)Evolution, a musical homage to some revolutionary artists such as coreographer Pina Bausch, afrobeat musician Fela Kuti and photographer Sebastiao Salgado, completely written and designed with singer and composer Alessandro Contini, is her further exploration of new sounds and voice possibilities. Piano player Alessandro Gwis and percussionist Michele Rabbia feature the project, with the renowned trumpet player Nils Petter Molvaer as special guest.
