“Her voice gets under your skin. It is idiosyncratic, but it is trustworthy in its clarity and almost physical in its intimacy… her intuitive interpretations and riveting voice make you sit very still in your chair.” - StereophileSinger Gabrielle Cavassa's performances and songwriting are steeped in sensuality, melancholy, humor, and soul. Gabrielle won the International Sarah Vaughan Jazz Vocal competition in 2021 after the independent release of her eponymous debut record in 2020. She was ushered into the spotlight through her collaboration with renowned saxophonist Joshua Redman on his 2023 record ‘where are we’. In a five-star album review by Downbeat, Cavassa is hailed as “a young singer with a deep, rich, and fragile voice…a star in the making,” and that her work with Redman “evokes another, historic saxophone-vocal pairing, that of Lester Young and Billie Holiday.” Like Holiday, who she cites as her greatest teacher, Cavassa’s expression contains a vulnerability that reaches at the crux of our humanity. She was signed to Blue Note Records in 2023, and is poised to release her debut with the label Spring of 2026.
