About / Biography

Hi,

My name is Sara Longo. I was born in Pisa (Italy), lived a few years in the US and then travelled back to Eu to study in Paris. There, I got my conservatory diplomas in classical piano and singing. As I grew up I realized my real passion was jazz. Swing, blues, bossanova became my best friends! I grew in the very lively and active Parisian Jazz scene, and got awarded in 2014 as best jazz singer (Trophées du Sunset jazz club). Since 2020 I live mostly in Venice, where I met great colleagues and lead various projects. I sing in English, Italian, French, Brasilian and Spanish. I write my own music but also adore jazz standards, Ella Fitzgerald's and and Anita O Day's worlds! Available for music, in Venice, Italy, and all around!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

In private events, I performed for 5 years for Peninsula (Paris). In Venice, I regularely sing for Hilton, St Regis, Metropole hotels. As for concerts, I sang in various great Jazz festivals, such as Padova jazz, Valdobbiadene, Novara jazz fest, Samois sur Seine, Juan les pins, Jazz à Vienne, Paris jazz clubs ecc....


What's your favourite type of event?

I love playing at all sorts of events but concerts are our favourite! The audiencs is always happy, it’s easy to get them participating in music as a gift, to make them sing and participate. It's life changing.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I started in 2010 in Paris. I won the Best Jazz singer award in 2014 (Trophées of the Sunset jazz club). I sang in the major Jazz festivals in France. I moved to Venice 6 years ago and am starting touring in Italy. Since 2023 I sang in jazz festivals of Sirmione, Valdobbiadene, Cormons, Sulmona, Rome, Piombino, Venezia, Padova, Bolzano, Lana, Novara, among other...


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Definitely Ella Fitzgerald. But I also love traditionnal Napoletan songs. The combo of these two passions are the songs I write. I love all great Jazz singers, Anita O day, Carmen Mc Rae.... But my favorite "tunes" are brasilian melodies: Samba em preludio to name one!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up. We normally perform 1 time one hour, or 2 x 45 minutes or 3 x 40 minute sets. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best."


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, very much. We’re happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance area.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We can learn specific songs before the event but we usually limit this to 2-3 songs. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them.

Previous customers would describe us as a high quality band, that loves to make people sing, listen and enjoy! Very happy mood.
