"ROTI IS FOR REAL" TimeOut Chicago

1/24/08



"There's another female jazz singer on the scene, and you should get to know her. Roti's sultry, laid-back delivery masks an uncanny knowledge of the lyrics, and did we mention her intonation and diction are to die for? .this is one to take to the bank." - TIMEOUT CHICAGO, CRITIC'S CHOICE for all 5 weekends in June!



JAZZ REVIEW

Roti Finds Magic, With Wizard's Help.she forced a hitherto unruly audience to sit up and listen.



"In a creative arrangement (by Bassist Chris Carani) of "If I Only Had a Brain", Roti turned the beloved but timeworn tune into a showcase for unusual melodic leaps and a disarmingly sweet, semi-comic interpretation.and in the Gershwins' "The Man I Love," she rode an unexpected funk backbeat into the edgiest, quirkiest, boldest performance of this set. Hitting off-beats hard, rewriting the famous melody line and otherwise holding her own against her colleagues.

The rhythmic aggression and expressive urgency she brought to 'The Man I Love' hushed the crowd and affirmed Roti's status as a vocalist of real promise." - HOWARD REICH/ CHICAGO TRIBUNE REVIEW



"Lisa has an innate sense of time. She really knows

how to "pocket" a feel and expose her heart with a lyric. She also has one of those

tones that I miss so much in today's world of pop divas. Watching her sing, reminds

me why I started. pure joy" - Jazz Vocalist, JANET PLANET



"I was very moved by your feeling. You really have a lovely approach - not over done and very musical." - SHEILA JORDAN



"Lisa Roti's essence is warmth and she brings all of this plus great taste" - GENE BERTONCINI



"Thanks again for a sterling performance. you will always be welcome at The Jazz Corner. Best wishes for continued success" - Bob Masteller, THE JAZZ CORNER



There are certain vocalists we feel we know from

the first time we hear them sing - Lisa Roti is that kind of singer. The interpretation

of each lyric and the intimacy of her delivery draw us in so closely that her whole

personality seems to take shape in our imagination.

Lisa has an immediately appealing voice with great

versatility. It is warm and smoky with sincerity and soulfulness that speak directly

to the heart, which is why she has been embraced by fans all over the world. She

sings in English, Italian, French, Portuguese and Spanish and has traveled extensively

through Europe, Asia, North, Central & South America. She has had the opportunity

to perform for such dignitaries as the ambassadors to Brazil, Portugal, Thailand,

Guatemala and Germany as well as members of the Canadian Government and even the

Princess of Tonga. She has also had the opportunity to study and play with such

'dignitaries of Jazz' as Gene Bertoncini, John Harmon, Franz Jackson, Fred Sturm,

Terell Stafford and Janet Planet.
