22-year-old composer and vocalist Leah Randazzo is a naturally gifted performer of uncommon charisma who knows how to bring an audience to its feet with her sultry voice and high-energy stage performance. Her original compositions, described as jazz-infused R&B and funk, are sophisticated songs of genuine poignance and passion that are getting serious attention from veteran songwriters, composers, and producers. The Leah Randazzo Group, a sextet which includes vocals, rhythm section, and horns, formed in the spring of 2005 and has been playing throughout the northeast since, including opening for Grammy winner Judy Collins. Leah's long awaited debut album "At The Root" is a stunning debut available in May 2006.

Amazing...I haven't stopped spinning it.
author: Matt
Leah can sing, her band can play and the sound they make together is near unbelievable. Randazzo's voice ranges from smooth and sweet to forceful and punctuated yet still soulful. It was by pure chance that I happened on a live show in Burlington, Vermont; and after hearing one song I knew I had to pick up this album. I wasn't disappointed and I've been spinning this cd non stop. (Favorites so far: My Weapon, Higher, Passes Me By and Turns to Grey)

Mature songwriting sensibility and the voice to back it up,
author: Local Buzz
Looking at the cover of Leah Randazzo's At the Root, which pictures the petite Randazzo looking not a day over 17, I readied myself for some timid girl pop, or perhaps even some timid girl folk. But don't let her youthful visage deceive you. Leah Randazzo has a mature songwriting sensibility and the voice to back it up, as I discovered when the deep funk groove of "My Weapon" dropped and Randazzo began delivering lines like, "I got myself some bullets, and I got myself a gun/But I don't need to use it, my voice will make you run."
Her voice is indeed a potent weapon, equal parts jazz, blues and soul, and Randazzo has the chops to hang with upper-echelon singers in any of these genres. Her backing band is equally versatile, moving effortlessly between bombastic funk and self-assured jazz, refraining from overplaying and allowing Randazzo's voice to shine.
Adding to the album's appeal is the crisp and tasteful production of Michael Gregory. One of my favorite moments comes durin

fabulous original music
author: Marlaina
Leah is an amazing talent. Having seen her perform in the Amherst area and now on the CD- I can't say which is better. I love an artist who sounds just as good on a recording as they do live and this CD sounds great. It's so refreshing to hear an amazing voice singing original material. I love it and Leah is amazing and as a fellow musician, she is an inspiration to me.
