With her mother a painter and her father a music-loving teacher, Brooklyn-raised Wendy Marcini spent her youth in a world heavily guided by color and tonality. Growing up in a household flooded with vinyl records by Ella Fitzgerald, Eric Dolphy, Billie Holiday, Dizzy Gillespie, and Miles Davis - to name only a few - most certainly left a mark on her. Being captivated by the playfulness and possibilities of jazz music from an early age, Wendy developed her own personal methods of voicing, with blues and pop being the cornerstone ingredients of her craft. Yet, it’s important to admire the sprinkles of more traditional expression in her style, stemming from prominent legends such as Oscar Peterson and Bill Evans. Wendy belongs to the new era of Jazz-musicians, bridging the gap between generations with her timeless, sincere yet curious playfulness, always reflected in her guiding principle: "When the music speaks for itself - that's when it affects me the most".
