Synopsis
At first glance, Gabrielle Cavassa might appear to be like any other jazz vocalist—poised, feminine, and softly luminous. And yet beneath this exterior lies an artist who is complex, substantive, and deeply engaged with the roots of her genre. One moment, tender and sultry, and in the next, unapologetic and brimming with attitude—a duality that demands an audience’s attention.
“I really respect songs and I really want to honor them in the best way,” she says, and that reverence is unmistakable in every note she delivers. Unfolding like conversations under dimmed lights, Cavassa’s performances are quietly intense and intimate, whether she is reimagining a standard or breathing life into a contemporary piece.
Come experience the next major force in jazz live—a lyrical world where elegance meets edge.

Artist Information
Gabrielle Cavassa
Born in Escondido, California, of Italian descent, Gabrielle Cavassa began obsessively listening to records from a young age. Largely self taught, she developed a unique approach to singing that would later characterise her artistry.
Cavassa received a Bachelor of Arts in Music from San Francisco State University, but credits the San Francisco Bay Area music scene for her real education in jazz. She moved to New Orleans in 2017, where she continued to develop her craft in local clubs. In 2020, Cavassa independently released a self-titled debut record produced by collaborator Jamison Ross.
She was ushered into the spotlight through her 2023 collaboration with saxophonist Joshua Redman on his Blue Note Records album where are we, after being crowned a winner of the International Sarah Vaughan Jazz Vocal Competition in 2021.
Cavassa leads a quartet ahead of her debut Blue Note record, set to release in Spring 2026.
