Giulia Millanta & Irene Jalenti at An Die Musik Live

"The best and scariest thing about Giulia Millanta is not just that she is truly a tightrope walker herself but that she continually pulls you out there with her--with melodies, singing, stories, imagery." - Dave Marsh

She is a deeply evocative singer with a dash of Piaf, a sprinkle of Lady Day, a pinch of Norah Jones and a teaspoon of Madeleine Peroux. Michael Greenblatt ( The Aquarian Weekly )

"These songs come from the heart and the mind, what takes place is seen through the singers eyes, what is felt is what she feels, and oh she is curious, feisty, humorous, yet introspective." - Next Best Thing Music...

Singer-songwriter, Giulia (Julia) Millanta, is a native-born Italian from Florence who now calls Austin, Texas home. A creative and prolific artist, she has released four albums touring regionally, nationally throughout the USA and internationally. An accomplished guitarist, Giulia also plays ukulele and sings in four languages. She has been described by critics as being “deeply evocative with a dash of Piaf, a sprinkle of Lady Day, a pinch of Norah Jones and a teaspoon of Medeleine Peroux.” She has been called smart, pensive and cool and credited with psychedelic grooveability whilst “baring her clairvoyant soul” to “deliver musical mojo.”

Giulia is about to release her fifth solo album “Moonbeam Parade”, 13 new self-penned tunes fueled by a new direction on electric guitar, on her own label “Ugly Cat Music”.

“Her warmth and strong stage presence allow her to communicate the essence, power and importance of jazz” says Sonny Rollins’s bassist Bob Cranshaw about Irene Jalenti, jazz vocalist who has brought her European flavor to Baltimore in 2010 and has become one of the most requested performers in the area.

A graduate of Peabody Conservatory Irene has studied with Gary Thomas and Jay Clayton. She is currently completing her Master Degree in Jazz Studies at Howard University where she is also part of the multi-award winning vocal jazz ensemble Afro Blue.
