“Francesca Tandoi is a pianist gifted with an excellent musical taste and sense of swing. She has a refined voice, she is capable of composing unforgettable melodies and arranging in an extremely sophisticated manner.”
Monty Alexander
Pianist/vocalist Francesca Tandoi is one of the most interesting talents on the international jazz scene.
Her performances have been repeatedly described as “an explosion of swing” and her style is energetic and elegant at the same time.
Francesca has collaborated with internationally renowned artists and in recent years it has been the trio formula that has been most congenial to her, allowing for a wide-ranging freedom of expression in which you can hear the bond with the jazz tradition firmly but with the mind projected towards the future .
She moved very young to Holland where she graduated cum laude at the Royal Conservatory of The Hague and at the Codarts Conservatory of Rotterdam.
In just a few years of career she began to bring her music around the world playing in some of the most important jazz festivals, theaters and jazz clubs such as the North Sea jazz festival, Umbria jazz, Cork jazz, Breda jazz, Amsterdam Arena Stadium and many others in USA, Indonesia, India, Japan, South Africa, Russia and all over Europe.
“Francesca Tandoi has a perfect piano technique and an incredible sense of swing. The audience is totally enthralled by her playing.”
David Alston
Her record “Wind dance” appears in the “top 10 best jazz albums of 2017” ranking of the famous Japanese magazine “Jazz Life”.
The same magazine defines her as one of the most interesting young talents on the European jazz scene.
“Francesca Tandoi possiede delle doti pianistiche davvero eccellenti,
è come se volasse sulla tastiera. E in più ha una voce bellissima, avvolgente e affascinante.”
