Description

Metro jazz critic Andrew Gilbert describes Gretchen Parlato as "a singer who has refined jazz singing with her affinity for Brazilian rhythms and love of transparent texture."

Parlato has been getting attention ever since her 2004 Thelonious Monk Institute International Vocal Competition win. Since then, she's been performing worldwide to sold out venues. Her CD, "The Lost and Found," shows her ability to write and compose songs, as well as reinventing some songs like Mary J. Blige's "All I Can Say."

Sasha Dobson, a Santa Cruz native, is described by Gilbert as having "honed a singer/songwriter sensibility while never losing her improvisational chops."

Both being talented singers with success in New York City, they will be performing with a shared band. The band will feature guitarist Mike Moreno, pianist Taylor Eigsti, bassist Alan Hampton and drummer Kendrick Scott.
