Digging Me, Digging You - two weeks to go!
18 January 2012
Only 2 weeks until the new record officially comes out! I’m busy getting ready for some great gigs (see the shows page for updated info) and the team has been sending out copies to press and radio. You can hear two tracks from the record on the player on the left hand side and pre-order now if you just can’t wait!
I’ve put up a new video on You Tube and am updating the blog regularly now. Early reviews have been great too!

West Coast Tour
10 February 2011
I am very excited to be heading out to the West Coast for the first time on tour! We’ll be hitting Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, Kamloops and Vernon BC. I’m going out with Michael Cabe, Mark Lau and Ernesto Cervini and we will be performing songs from Lovefool but also previewing songs from my next record which is a tribute to the late great Blossom Dearie. More details are on the Shows page. We’ll be bringing along our video cameras to shoot footage and will share it with you as soon as we get back from our adventure. We hope to meet as many of you as possible!
New Blog

Fall News
1 September 2010
Fall already? I can’t believe the time has gone by so quickly! I’ve been quite busy adjusting to my new life as a mom. In case you aren’t on my mailing list or friends on Facebook, Ethan Jonah Lev-Ari was born on April 26, 2010. He’s an amazing kid and cute as can be. There are plenty of pictures on Facebook. Even more reason to look me up there.
Jazz Country and ACQ have had great shows in the past two months here in NYC and the Jazz for Kids program has been a blast with more and more people coming out every time. I am looking forward to going into the studio in the next few months to record a Blossom Dearie Tribute record as well as starting to record Jazz Country.
Thank you as always for your support and I look forward to seeing you at a show soon!

Happy New Year!
I’m looking forward to lots of great new adventures, musically and otherwise this year.
There are a lot of shows coming up that I’m very excited about:
Jazz Country is making its debut at The Bar Next Door which is the perfect venue for this band. The newest version of Couples Therapy (featuring Jo Lawry, Oded Lev-Ari, Matt Aronoff and James Shipp) will be debuting at The Stone. Monday Off is at The Metropolitan Room for a very special show. I’ll also be participating in New England Conservatory’s 40th Anniversary Celebration of the Jazz Department at Joe’s Pub. Also, my new Jazz For Kids Series will continue every second Sunday at the 55 Bar and I have a few shows with Brenda Earle’s Sacred Voices Project.
All this before the biggest adventure of all…I’m having a baby! The little guy is due in April so I’ll be taking some time after that to get to know him.
The reviews for Lovefool have been amazing. Here’s a sample:
“Singer Amy Cervini’s work has been aimed at tearing down boundaries between old and new jazz styles, rock, pop, country and more—a reminder of Duke Ellington’s old axiom that there’s just two kinds of music, good and bad. Cervini demonstrably knows from good; head down to hear tunes from her new CD, Lovefool, and so will you.” – Time Out New York
“It’s a gem.” – All About Jazz NY
“...we love the new record.” – The Boston Globe
“Ms. Cervini is an articulate vocalist who doesn’t play tricks with the lyrics, gives the pieces the right amount of sincerity…” – Richard Kamins, The Hartford Courant
“Her singing drew distinctions between rhythm and phrasing – that is, she can swing, but she also knows where a lyric should fall in the melody and how to turn a syllable.” – Jon Garelick, Boston Phoenix
“There’s an honest, self-assured and honey dripping presence clearly heard…” – All Music Guide
Hope to see you sometime soon!
