Francesca Leone (born in Bari in 1974) is an Italian jazz singer. In 1993 she began studying singing at Il Pentagramma (The Pentagram), a music school in Bari, with Mariella Carbonara. She deepened her study of jazz singing and improvisation with Paola Arnesano, and also became a member of a female vocal quartet called The Four Sisters. Over the years, she has furthered her training by participating in events such as the Umbria Jazz Festival, seminars with Tiziana Ghiglioni, Sheila Jordan, at the seminar on vocal harmony with Charles Lomanto and Voicecraft techniques with Roberto Demo. She has also participated in workshops with Dado Moroni, Roberto Gatto, Gilson Silveira, Bobby Durham, and Irio De Paola, and won a scholarship in 2007 at the Spoleto Vocal Jazz Workshop that is held each summer in Spoleto, Umbria, under the tutelage of Michele Hendricks.

Leone teaches vocal jazz at Il Pentagramma. Her singing style is inspired by singers of the 50s, and the Francesca Leone Quartet release, A Tribute To Chet Baker, is a tribute to the great singer and trumpet player who performs with his quartet. Leone also collaborates with Pippo Lombardo in his project, Marchio Bossa, and has appeared on several of the group's albums, including Italian Lounge Music, No Bossa No Party, Best Of Lounge - Fantasy, and Colorando under the Azzurra Music label. All the Way: The Jimmy Van Heusen Songbook (2006) is Leone's first CD as leader with Guido Di Leone, Teo Ciavarella, and Aldo Vigorito for the jazz records label, fo(u)r.

Sensitive to the Brazilian sounds and rhythms inspired by João Gilberto, she formed the Francesca Leone Quartet together with Guido Di Leone, Giuseppe De Lilla and Fabio Delle Foglie, and the foursome recorded Bossa na minha casa ("Bossa in my house") in 2008. In 2004, Leone had also formed the vocal quintet Mezzotono, and together they won the prize for best a cappella group at the 2008 Solevoci Festival in Varese, and in June 2008 released their album, Mezzotono. https://www.last.fm/music/Francesca+Leone/+wiki

Two of the greatest national performers of the bossanova genre. A duet fruit of years of collaborations, concerts and festivals held around the world. A repertoire, the Brazilian one, chosen from pieces that in some cases carry excellent signatures such as those of Tom Jobim, Joao Gilberto, Vinicius de Moraes, Baden Powell. The "Brazilian saudade" soon became part of the musical culture of the whole world, giving a new life to its melodies. Guido Di Leone, one of the most famous Italian guitarists and Francesca Di Leone, a persuasive voice and very fine performer, give us a record of high artistic profile and at the same time of great pleasure, elegance and simplicity of listening. http://www.jazzandmore.it/product_info.php?products_id=753&language=en
