Film Scores

'Originally from Freeport, Long Island, New York and now residing on the Isle of Wight in the United Kingdom, multi-faceted vocalist, composer, arranger, and engineer, Denise Mangiardi offers On the Brink, her eighth album as leader. Consisting of seven exceptionally well-performed selections with a handful of vivid originals and two classics, this is a masterful effort that is intriguing, enlightening, and a most enjoyable listen'. Nick Mondello  All about Jazz August 2024

On the Brink

On The Brink

"If Denise Mangiardi‘s Brown Book comes off as far more ambitious than the average release from a jazz singer, that’s because Mangiardi is far more than just a singer. She’s a composer, arranger and musician, and she’s been doing this for many years–Brown Book, in fact, is her seventh album. Instead of using a small jazz ensemble or even a big band, Denise Mangiardi employs the Slovak National Symphony Orchestra that, like Calabria Foti, takes you back to the ’50s and ’60s when people like Nelson Riddle and Henry Mancini were the rock stars of their day."
Mark Phillips The Vinyl Anachronist  April 8th 2020

Angel T's Waltz

I had a dream where these beautiful angels were singing this refrain."China's got to have her way". So I asked myself why would I have a dream about China? ( it was the year that China took back Hong Kong). I wrote the intro on the airplane on the way to New Orleans from Denver. It was a bumpy ride. Notice the bass line. It calmed my nerves at the time.

I wrote this song about my great love for New Orleans. My home away from home.
It is the place where I recorded all of my CD's with some of the finest musicians. 
This particular track features some great young players from London. 
Ben and James Mckone, Adrian Lever and a wonderful harp player from Colombia,
Diego Laverde Rojas.
