Michelle Lordi DeCafe Concert

Michelle Lordi is a Philadelphia-based singer with a voice pleasing to the connoisseur of the elegant 30’s & 40’s era girl singers, yet surprisingly modern in its clarity & emotion. Her refreshing style, paired with her drive to create music and

a willingness to take creative chances, have her poised to  become the jazz scene’s new sweetheart.

She makes music with an eclectic mix of jazz musicians:  Orrin Evans, Mike Frank, Tom Lawton, Larry McKenna, Madison Rast, Lee Smith, John Swana & Sonny Troy.

“…Cool uncorrupted understatement that swings is a way to describe Lordi’s vocal style

in a nutshell.”—Victor Schermer, All About Jazz

“Michelle has a refreshingly natural approach to phrasing and delivery of the lyric. Straightforward,  yet very expressive without melodrama. A female Chet Baker comes to mind”—Tom Lawton, Pianist

“Michelle has a refreshing sound and style, great time and intonation, devoid of the cliches and licks that I hear far too often…she wisely lets the lyric speak for itself—with beautiful enunciation, by the way—without feeling the need to pound it into the ground…The liberties (she) takes with a song are subtle and make sense.”—Bruce Klauber, ICON Magazine
