Bianca Morales--half Afro-Cuban, half Finnish--is a renowned recording
and performing jazz vocalist and composer. At the age of 14, she had
already started her jazz career, both singing and recording with Grani
Big Band. Bianca was well-established by the age of 18 after winning
MTV 3?s (one of Finland?s main national TV channels) Spring Tune
Contest in 1984 with an original composition that she co-wrote, a
reggae tune titled ?Our Party.?
Bianca continues to be a full-time jazz performer continuing a busy
performance schedule, both in Finland and many other countries around
the world including the U.S. As she spends increasingly more time in
her second home in Los Angeles, her local fan base is growing rapidly.
The highlight of 2007 is the official debut and release party of
Bianca?s new CD ?When in Rome?, recorded with Europe?s premier jazz
orchestra, UMO Jazz Orchestra and the Beem Jazz Combo. The UMO Jazz
Orchestra is nowadays regarded as one of the Europe's leading big
bands. It has made numerous concert tours including a great European
tour with Natalie Cole and The Manhattan Transfer. They?ve performed
with conductors and soloists such as legendary jazz artists Dizzy
Gillespie, Gil Evans, Joe Williams and Michael Brecker. The Beem Jazz
Combo features leading Finnish jazz musicians and from the USA
composer, saxophonist Larry Price.
A love letter to Rome, ?When in Rome? is full of swinging, rhythmic,
romantic and whimsical original compositions by Bianca and her writing
partner, Maria Parr, with some music composed by American
composer/musician Larry Price and by Finnish composer/musician Klaus
Roos. The English lyrics, based on Maria?s original Finnish lyrics,
are written by Judy Lamppu, a native Los Angelino. This CD is a
tribute to the great jazz classics of the fifties and sixties, with
wonderful arrangements by Sven Nygσrd. The Finnish version of the
second track on the album ?Yleislakko? (?General Strike?) was a
finalist in the jazz category in the International Songwriting
Competition 2004. Branford Marsalis and Macy Gray were among the
distinguished judges. ?Yleislakko? got an Honorable Mention. Visit the
site: http://www.songwritingcompetition.com/winners In 2005, from the
same CD, ?Via Veneto? made it to the Top Ten in the Latin category in
the USA Songwriting Competition.
Bianca played ?Lorraine? (and was also the understudy for Motormouth)
in the Tony Award-winning Broadway musical HAIRSPRAY. The Finnish
production of Hairspray run to rave reviews in Helsinki, Finland from
the 13th of August 2005 to April the 1st 2006 at the Helsinki City
Theatre (Helsingin Kaupunginteatteri). Visit the website:

Bianca has been a featured artist at most of the important jazz
festivals in Finland including the world famous Pori Jazz Festival.
Starting 2005 for the 40th anniversary of Pori Jazz, Bianca produced
the children?s' program portion of the Pori Jazz Festival and she will
continue in that role also in 2007. Among this year?s international
stars were Sting, The Neville Brothers, Carla Bley Big Band, Roberta
Flack, New York Voices and Irma Thomas.
