Vocalist

An artist of astonishing depth, Roxana Amed has created and refined a lush, poetic sound all her own. Based in Miami, the Buenos Aires native serves countless styles of music as singer, composer, band leader, and bilingual lyricist, bonding “South American folk traditions with sophisticated rock and post-bop jazz.” For her Dizzy’s Club debut, Amed leads a tight ensemble of equally expressive improvisers: Martin Bejerano, Mark Small, and Edward Perez.

Roxana Amed Quintet

Jazz At Lincoln Center

Argentine-American jazz vocalist and composer Roxana Amed presents "BECOMING HUMAN," her 11th album produced with the "New Jazz Works" grant by Chamber Music America. Joined by her exceptional ensemble, Amed, a three-time Latin Grammy nominee, invites audiences on a poetic and musical journey through the human experience. From the innocence of birth and the joys of childhood to the challenges of forging one's identity and the introspection of the artist's solitude, “BECOMING HUMAN” delves into the depths of our shared human existence through 10 captivating songs. These compositions, penned by Amed and masterfully arranged by Martin Bejerano, Mark Small, and Kendall Moore, reflect the profound synergy of a team that has garnered acclaim both locally and internationally.
