‘The first thing you notice about Gretchen is that she's a singer with a deep, almost magical connection to the music ... every note is expressive, powerful, and pretty', says jazz legend Herbie Hancock. Her rare ingenuity and passion for lyrics lends a quiet intensity and emotional honesty to her exquisite phrases and subtle Brazilian rhythms.

Winner of the prestigious 2004 Thelonious Monk International Jazz Vocals Competition, Gretchen Parlato is one of the fastest rising stars in jazz.
