The acclaimed vocalist Mafalda Minnozzi's latest record Cinema City - Jazz Scenes from Italian Film intimately unveils a new side of the artist as she explores the Italian cinematic songbook. Jazz music has long taken cues from the silver screen.

Charlie Chaplin's "Smile" and Johnny Mandel's "The Shadow of Your Smile" are hallmarks in the jazz repertoire, and "My Favorite Things" from The Sound of Music remains one of John Coltrane's most enduring performances. On Cinema City, Mafalda Minnozzi entwines the songbook of her native Italy with a distinctive flavor of the jazz language.
