Francesca Tandoi Trio

Italian pianist Francesca Tandoi heads up her own trio and has the entire world at her feet. Look back on an evening of memorable jazz songs in thought-provoking arrangements.

Francesca Tandoi is a singer and pianist with a dazzling capacity for life-affirming swing, akin to Oscar Peterson or Monty Alexander. She is a melodic composer and a brilliant soloist. She leads her own trio here, with bass player Matheus Nicolaiewsky and drummer Sander Smeets.

In just a few years, Francesca Tandoi has gone from ultra-talented to world class. Indeed, jazz pianist Monty Alexander has noted her as a “tasteful pianist, exquisite singer, and composer of memorable songs in thought-provoking arrangements.”

Francesca Tandoi is also a frequently hired co-musician and accompanist and has performed on countless recordings, including with legendary saxophone player Scott Hamilton.

Add to the mix a powerful sophistication and spectacular stage presence, and we’re talking about an unusually versatile artist who is acclaimed by critics, audiences and fellow musicians alike.

Recorded in Gothenburg Concert Hall in April 2026.
