Sarah Pedinotti is a young female jazz singer from Saratoga Springs, NY. In 2005 her latest album, One Mirror, was listed by Billboard Magazine editor Thom Duffy as one of the ten best new albums of the year. In 2003, Duffy listed her first album You Go to My Head in his ten best new albums category as well.
Pedinotti was raised in the countryside of upstate New York, one of seven in a family of artists and restaurateurs. She grew up to the sounds of her father’s jug band practicing in the kitchen. She began singing and playing piano at an early age while her father joined in on guitar, blues harmonica and banjo.
In the summer of 1996, her parents started a jazz bistro in Saratoga Springs called One Caroline Street. Sarah began singing there when she was twelve, sitting in with the nightly featured artists. Over the years she has performed with many jazz greats including members of The Wynton Marsalis Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra; Marcus Printup, Eric Lewis and Ali Jackson. She was taken under the wing of Lee Shaw (a student of Oscar Peterson), who has taught her musical theory and history from a first hand perspective. Sarah attended The Berklee College of Music on scholarship receiving the World Tour Scholarship and the Berklee Songwriting Award. Her music is featured on radio and national television. She has written music for the Food Network as well as television commercials aired in the capital region.
In the summer of 2005 the Pedinotti family opened the Mouzon House, a French-Creole restaurant in a restored Victorian home. The brick structure of the restaurant was the home of the Mouzon family for years, and is the last remaining historic house in the York Street neighborhood of Saratoga Springs. Sarah will perform at both One Caroline Street and the Mouzon Hoouse in summer 2006.
