Gretchen Parlato is widely regarded as one of the most inventive and mesmerizing jazz vocalists of her generation. Praised by The New York Times as “transfixing,” she “fashions a mellow, drifting sound informed by Brazil and Wayne Shorter and organic R&B.” Featured on more than 85 recordings, Parlato is celebrated for her exceptional rhythmic sophistication and deeply expressive performances, continually redefining the possibilities of the modern jazz voice.
