GRETCHEN PARLATO
Gretchen Parlato vocals, Taylor Eigsti piano, Burniss Travis bass, Kendrick Scott drums
With her calm, exceptional voice Gretchen Parlato makes each song her own, adding color with Brazilian rhythms. Her recent album The Lost and Found, featuring original songs alongside compositions by Lauryn Hill and Wayne Shorter, reached many end-of-year lists and made her number one in the Downbeat Critics Poll, as Rising Star Female Vocalist. ‘Parlato has overturned clichés to make jazz singing cool again’ (Time Out New York).
