Photo of Sara Longo, jazz singer, jazz band. Sara Longo, jazz singer, jazz band. "Sara Longo has been recommended from a friend, who is a booking agent in jazz festivals. She has a descrete caracter but what a voice!! Always ready to help, she is stunningly professional in the choice of her musicians and of her repertoire. She ends up making everybody happy, but can also move the crown with those wonderful Napolitan ballads. I want more!!!!"

They created such a lively vibe for our welcome party, no request was an issue, even played on in the dark when we had lighting issues.
