Jazz has a new leading lady, and her name is Anaïs Reno. Already hailed as one of the most exciting young vocalists on the scene, Anaïs is adding another major milestone to her soaring career — a 2026 Bistro Award honoring her extraordinary artistry. With a voice that feels both timeless and refreshingly modern, she brings the Great American Songbook into the present moment while honoring the legends who built the genre. From Birdland to Carnegie Hall, Anaïs is proving that jazz is not just alive — it’s evolving.
On The Roundtable, we talk about her journey from prodigy to powerhouse, the discipline behind her craft, and what it means to carry jazz into the next generation. We celebrate the Bistro Award moment, the music that shaped her, and why audiences everywhere are leaning in when she sings. If you love the classics but crave what’s next, Anaïs Reno is the artist to watch.
The Roundtable with Robert Bannon is available on Broadway Podcast Network, BroadwayWorld, YouTube, Spotify, iHeart, and everywhere you get your podcasts.
