CRITICAL COMMENTS:
“Varozza is a formidable talent, a dazzling performer, whose original material throbs and pulses with exciting rhythms and motifs. It’s a kind of jazz ⎯ but an unimprovised jazz that only a top-flight classical performer and composer could develop.” - Pacifica Tribune
“Classically trained, Varozza has ventured into the jazz arena with a unique kind of music that packs a powerful punch. Her strong, sophisticated style is characterized by a gorgeous lyricism, a dazzling technique, intricate, agile passagework, and vigorous, strangely (and appealingly) tactile rhythms.”
- East Bay Express
“a delightful fusion of classical and jazz styles” - Trinity Chamber Concerts
