“Corinne Mammana has a voice that every lover of the Great American Songbook and of jazz singers should definitely hear.””
“Some vocalists pull a listener in immediately, right from the first phrase. With her gorgeous voice, knowing approach to lyrics to establish intimacy, and her own sensitive arrangements, Corinne Mammana is that kind of enthralling artist on her EP. One can almost see those sights of the season she sings about with tender loving attention and glowing appreciation in “Christmas Time Is Here” and the cozy conversation-like self-penned title song of In the Christmas City.”
““The singer is able to showcase her impressive vocal chops, always tasteful and never over-the-top. Mammana makes it all sound too easy...Her arrangements are capable and utilitarian until they become sheer genius.””
““Corinne Mammana’s new album is evocative, fresh. She is able to approach songs from a diverse variety of genres and infuse them with her honeyed vocals and creative energy.” ”
““Her superb technique is a dead giveaway. But Mammana applies her superb technique gracefully, carefully, tastefully and intelligently. There are no clichés in her singing and no licks. She wisely lets the melody and lyrics speak for themselves.””
““Corinne sings soulfully and emotionally, making an impressive appearance.” ”
““Her voice seems capable of pushing away storm clouds and darkness. We need this right now.””

Praised by JazzTimes for “superb technique” and All About Jazz for her “sheer genius” arrangements, American jazz singer, songwriter, arranger, recording artist and bandleader Corinne Mammana is passionate about preserving the music of the past while placing her own personal spin on the American Songbook, as well as popular tunes from the past few decades. With creative arrangements sung in a sophisticated and soothing style, fans have described Mammana’s voice as a cross between Norah Jones, Julie London and Stacey Kent. She has released three albums— “Under an August Moon” (2016 EP), “Yes, No, Next” (2020), and “In the Christmas City” (2022 EP) which all received international praise (JazzLife Japan, AXS, LA Jazz Scene, to name a few). Mammana’s Christmas EP ranked in the Top 200 JazzWeek Chart and received airplay on Sirius XM’s Real Jazz Holiday.
In August 2022, Mammana was invited to headline the Northwest Jazz Festival alongside jazz icons Stacey Kent and Emmet Cohen. In April 2022 she brought her popular Disney Songbook Concert to the Sellersville Theater. In 2019 Mammana opened for Grammy nominated jazz singer Cyrille Aimée. In New York City, Mammana has performed at Birdland Jazz Club (Jim Caruso’s Cast Party), the Metropolitan Room and the Duplex Cabaret Theatre. She has also performed at Philadelphiaʼs Chrisʼ Jazz Cafe, the legendary Deer Head Inn, JazzForum’s Summer Concert Series (NY), Shanghai Jazz Club, Scranton Jazz Festival, Jazz on Main, Musikfest and countless other clubs and concert halls on the East Coast. Self-produced concerts include Jazz in the Christmas City, The Golden Age of Radio, and The Norah Jones Songbook Concert—all to sold-out audiences.
Originally from suburbia Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Mammana holds a Bachelor of Music degree from James Madison University where she was classically trained in voice. She performed in professional theaters for many years before discovering her passion for jazz music. Mammana studies privately with world-renowned voice teacher Dr. William Riley (Celine Dion and Whitney Houston’s coach). Mammana is also an educator and teaches private voice and piano lessons. She enjoys sharing her passion for music with other aspiring artists.
