Born into a family of illustrious Italian musicians, Irene Jalenti has followed a singular creative path as a jazz vocalist, songwriter and arranger who draws on an international array of kindred musical currents. Possessing a strikingly rich cello-like tone, she?s equally impressive improvising a scat solo or interpreting a song with soulful intensity (across five languages). While her sound has often been compared to international legends such as Nina Simone, Mercedes Sosa, and Beth Carvalho, her phrasing, repertoire, and poetic sensibility are all her own. 'Dawn' collects four of Jalenti?s scintillating originals along with six smartly chosen covers and a stunning array of Baltimore?s finest instrumentalists.
