http://www.culturediscovery.com - During the 2007 Tuscia in Jazz festival in Soriano nel Cimino, Italy, this 12 year old girl amazed everyone with her incredible voice and presence. She walked away with the "Best Voice" award in the 'Jimmy Woode' contest.
The judges at this seemingly insignifican festival were not insignificant at all.... They included Benny Golson, Joey De Francesco, Jimmy Cobb, Buster Williams, George Cables, Bobby Durham, Jesse Davis, Giorgio Rosciglione, Gegè Munari, Eddy Palermo, Piero Odorici, Massimo Faraò, John Kinnison all presided over by Jimmy Woode's daughter, Shawnn Monteiro.
She went on to change her name to Jessica Brando, and appeared in the 2010 San Remo festival.
