“Her voice gets under your skin,” writes Stereophile, “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.”
Gabrielle Cavassa is a singer and composer, recently signed to the legendary Blue Note Records. She was ushered into the spotlight through her collaboration with renowned saxophonist Joshua Redman on his critically acclaimed 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.”
Born in Escondido, California, of Italian descent, Cavassa began “obsessively listening” to records from a young age. Largely self-taught, she developed a unique approach to singing that would characterize her artistry. Cavassa received a Bachelor of Arts in Music from San Francisco State University, but says that her “real education” came from playing San Francisco jazz clubs throughout her college years. In 2017, Cavassa relocated to New Orleans, where she currently resides. She won the prestigious International Sarah Vaughan Jazz Vocal Competition in 2021 after the independent release of her eponymous debut record in 2020. Following her 2023 collaboration with Joshua Redman, Cavassa toured extensively with the Joshua Redman Group, a collection of several of today’s most exciting young players, from Fall 2023 to Spring 2025.
It is Cavassa’s distinctive expression that has poised her to become one of the defining artists of her generation. Cavassa’s Blue Note debut is set to release in Spring 2026.
