Yay! The concert at Lincoln Center is ON, and the ticket link is available here. I'm renting a digital billboard in Times Square - on the marquis of the Ripley's Museum- so exciting!

I'm happy to report that the digital distribution has gone smoothly, and you can hear the album on a doznes of radio stations worldwide, and streaming virtually everywhere except SiriusXm (I'm still working on that). Que me up on your favorite - AppleMusic, iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, YouTube, Deezer, TikTok, Pandora, etc. On the flip side (literally) vinyl production has been delayed. Side A was dinged slightly during plating, and an audible blip could be heard on Track 3. Side A has been re-cut, and I'm waiting for the vinyl pressing plant to get back into production, after a local corona virus outbreak.
May 2021 update - Much to my surprise, "A Dark Goddess for Flute and Strings" won the 2020 Best Flute Single Award at OneWorldMusic Radio!!!. So honored to be recognized, and pleased that Dsvid Solomons composition got such a positive response.

Suite Esmerelda is in the final stages of post-production! Vinyl mastering will start in a couple of weeks. Still on target for a June 2021 release.

January 2021 update-
I've just been told that the 2021 World Flute Society Conference (planned to be held at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire) will now be a Virtual/Online event. Will be posting more details as they become available.
December 2020 update-
"Suite Esmerelda" is still in progress. Los Angeles County's Covid-19 restrictions are impacting my production schedule, and vinyl pressing plants are super busy right now, so I'm now aiming for a late Spring 2021 release date. I'm starting to get confirmations for "live" events late summer, fall/winter 2021. Am hopeful that I'll be back out performing again within the next 6 months or so.
October 2020 update-
Have been doing a few more remote sessions, in preparation for releasing a couple of New Age (improvised flute duets) singles from a collaboration session with Al Jewer at Treeline Studio last year- more on that as we finish the mixing. Also happy to announce that Searching - Desert Dawn Mix has been added to the first NewZik YouTube Playlist! It's #16 on this excellent roster of musicians - listen here! Work on "Suite Esmerelda" continues, as I'm learning about the vinyl pressing business.
September 2020 update-
"Suite Esmerelda" is in post-production! The Los Angeles recording sessions are completed, and mixing & adding remote instrument tracks is in progress! I'm starting a crowdfunding project soon, and the "big perk" will be a beautiful premium-quality vinyl version of the album (plus the hi-rez digital files, album art, and liner notes). Maybe some cool merch, too, with the cover art. Bryan Pezzone did a phenomenal job on the piano part, and San Diego artist/flutist DC Langer will do the custom album cover design. Check back (or email me to sign up for my mailing list) to get updates & a look behind-the-scenes.
August 2020 update-
"Suite Esmerelda" is in progress, with the help of a small federal SBA Disaster Relief loan. Rehearsals and recording time are booked. Check back (or email me to sign up for my mailing list) to get updates & a look behind-the-scenes .
May 2020 update-
It's time to switch gears - since virtually all of my non-virtual events have been cancelled, it's time to hit the recording studios (when it's safe) and finish the albums that have been on the back burner for a while. Here's what I'll be working on:
JoRazzal Music - new albums and EPs are on the top of the list now!
"Suite Esmerelda for Flute and Piano" by Eric V. Baum. Written for me as a college graduation gift, this three-movement jazz-classical crossover suite is an homage to the famous "Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano" by Claude Bolling (recorded by Jean-Pierre Rampal on flute. This will be the world-premiere recording, of course! Local pianist (will name drop later!) with a global collaboration for adding bass and drums.
Compilation of the Grand Canyon - inspired flute works of Katherine Hoover. Since "Canyon Shadows" turned out so well, I will be be recording "Canyon Echoes for Flute and Guitar", plus "Kokopellil" and "Winter Spirits for solo flute, and combining all four works into a compilation CD. Name of the album "Grand Canyon Visions" is still a working title.
A new solo flute album of original music....the working title is "Bamboo Dreams" and it will likely be intentionally meditative. Or maybe not. I've got sooooo many flutes I'd like to record!
And, there will be more collaborations -
Al Jewer and I recorded half an album at the last World Flute Society Convention, and we were going to finish it this summer (but the conference was cancelled). So, there may be a (well-masked and sanitized) trip to his studio to finish it.
And if y'all enjoyed Lava Walker Live, Susan Surftone and I have plans to release a studio version, plus soem new songs, and a couple of covers, likely enough for a full album.
Plus I've got rough draft of the NAF Songbook for "Under The Stars" and the Finale transcript of Suite Esmerelda, so sheet music publishing is in my near future.
To be sure to stay in the loop, fill out my Contact Form to be added to my mailing list!
April 2020 update
As we've all feared, entire concert seasons, music festivals, and live workshops are being cancelled for the entire summer, and possibly through the end of the calendar year, for Los Angeles County and the State of California. What does this mean for performers, teachers and recording artists? Here's how you can help!
If you're a flute student-
Try virtual lessons via Skype, FaceTime, Zoom, or Facebook Messenger. You can do this from your phone, tablet, or desktop computer. It works! And if your teacher (me or anyone else you'd like to try out) offers a masterclass or other paid group workshop, sign up!
If you're a fan of my music, now's the time to show support-
Follow me on Spotify
Follow me on Pandora
Follow me on AppleMusic
Subscribe to my YouTube Channel
Play me on Amazon Music
Subscribe to the "Joanne Lazzaro Topic" YouTube Channel
Follow me on TikTok, Shazam, Tidal, Groove, Deezer, or wherever you listen to music. .
I don't have subscriptions to all of those, but I'm published everywhere except SiriusXm (still working on that platform!)
Pick your favorite platform, create a playlist of my music, and run it a couple of times (while you're making dinner, cleaning the house, sleeping, it's all good). And if you have a smart speaker, ask her/him/it to Play that playlist, too.
And of course, if you use social media-
Follow me on Facebook
Follow me on Instagram
If you're a fan of my performing groups, e.g. Los Angeles Flute Orchestra, Beach Cities Symphony Orchestra, Peninsula Symphony Orchestra-
Go to each group's website, Facebook page, etc., and find out what we've planned. LAFO will be releasing a new album, and likely starting a crowdfunding campaign to work on another one during this performing hiatus. BCSO is a 501c3 non-profit - consider a donation. And any other performing groups you've enjoyed in the past, please do the same for them!
March 2020 Important Announcement!

Please check my Calendar (or email or text me for a status update) if you were planning to come to any of my concerts.
