A classy and elegant performer with a sumptuous voice and winning delivery, her gigs are always swinging and fun. As she puts it "with my shows I like to convey my love for jazz and swing, taking audiences back to the 1940's and 50s, from the streets of Harlem to the movie studios of California

"Charming and…with a true passion for storytelling, Viviana Zarbo very much knows how to hold an audience…definitely the real deal" thejazz.co.uk; “Take Away” is the expression of …a velvety voice that Viviana has learnt to use well…a debut worth noting" Jazz in Europe.
