MIKE RENZI

Mike Renzi (born Michael E. Renzi on April 28, 1946) is an American pianist, arranger, and musical director. He is best known for his collaborations with some of the legends of pop-jazz singing, notably Peggy Lee, Lena Horne, Mel Tormé, Cleo Laine, Blossom Dearie, and Jack Jones. In 2010, Stephen Holden of the New York Times noted Renzi’s “gorgeous long-lined runs” and his “extraordinary grace as a pianistic arranger whose accompaniments have a panoramic orchestral sweep.”[1] Renzi is also a seven-time Daytime Emmy-winning composer of soundtrack music for such TV shows as Sesame Street and All My Children.
