Elisa Minelli & Sergio Lorandi Honor Jazz Legacy with EP “Star Eyes”

Elisa Minelli and Sergio Lorandi

“Star Eyes” released September 20, 2025. Italian jazz duo Elisa Minelli and Sergio Lorandi take on a fresh new venture with the release of their debut jazz EP “Star eyes.” The project gracefully weaves together history, sentiment and musicianship,  a tribute to the golden age of jazz revisited and reimagined for contemporary ears.

With a repertoire that includes timeless jazz standards such as “Embraceable You,”The Nearness of you” and “Star Eyes” from where their EP gets its name, the duo’s new work is rounded out by an original composition, ‘Walking Alone on Snow’, reflecting their reverence for the genre mixed with their own creativity.

And Minelli’s vocals, warm and graceful, weave through the elegant guitar work of Lorandi in a collaboration that feels intimate and timeless. Their arrangements pay homage to the masters, and some of those same greats could learn something from them; you feel the care in every chord and phrase.

“Star Eyes” is a love letter to the genre, a bridge between past and future, where history meets fealty. For jazz fans or novices, Minelli and Lorandi present a listening experience full of charm, soul, and elegance.
