So, this article is all about the Jazz, whether you are a newbie or a faithful returnee, the once a month Dinner and Jazz Concert is one of the greatest highlights of the month which takes place the last Thursday of each month. On August 25th, the international singer-pianist Julia Vari, better known as “The Latin American Jazz Diva,” has released a digital version of her new single “Cruela de vil,” an extraordinary swing-fusion version of the classic Disney song from “101 Dalmatians.”  This single is part of a large-scale Disney Big Band project for Latino audiences, which Julia and her team are planning for 2017.

As she takes America by storm, Julia first presented her new material to a full house on July 19th in the renowned Los Angeles performance venue “Upstairs at Vitellos,” created by the famous percussionist Sheila E, and will subsequently take her show to the National Arts Center in Ottawa, Canada, as well as the Back Bay Jazz Series in Newport Beach, the international jazz festival JazzMex in Mexico City, and the CECUT Theater in Tijuana.

Recently relocated to Los Angeles, Julia is one of the most well-known jazz-fusion artists in Latin America and is known for her extraordinary stage presence, outstanding vocal technique, and thoughtful and unique musical arrangements, all of which have helped her position herself as one of the most active artists in the region.  Julia has shared the stage and collaborated with artists such as Arturo Sandoval and Armando Manzanero.
