Album Notes

Sandy Sasso Bio

"I never thought of doing anything else. I always knew my life would be about singing and performing in some way. While my girlfriends played with their dolls, I was busy working the imaginary audience behind my mirror".

When she started piano lessons at age 6, her lifelong partnership with music began to form. She remembers that at the age of 12 she heard Brubeck's "Take Five". "For me thaat the 'the' moment. I found the music so intriguing. It was like nothing I had ever heard. Don't get me wrong, I was just a kid and I loved my rock and roll, but I managed to listen to jazz whenever it was around". Sandy ultimately chose the classical route for training in voice and piano, but left the coziness of those hallowed halls after a few years. She decided to hit the clubs and begin to practice her craft, her way. She never looked back.

Sandy has sung and continues to sing for, and with some of the best in the business. Jazz legends, presidents, entertainment giants, and some of the best road bands traveling today. As a young woman, she had a chance audition, and started working with, a local big band. This eventually opened the doors to steady work with the Dorsey, Goodman, Riddle and Pops big bands.

She travels the mid-atlantic regions, focusing on the tri-state area, with everything from small jazz combos all the way to 17 piece big bands. A regular performer in all the major jazz rooms in New Jersey, Sandy Sasso is one of the busiest singers in the business.

Long overdue, her debut CD, "Mixed Grill" showcases her rich, multi-dimensional voice. A little bit of smokey velvet, a little bit of honey and a great range. Take a listen to some of the samples and hear why she is in such demand. This singer has it all!
