Gabrielle Cavassa is a singer and composer, recently signed to 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 later characterize her artistry. Cavassa received a Bachelor of Arts in Music from San Francisco State University, but credits the Bay Area music scene for her “real education”. She moved to New Orleans in 2017, where she continued her education in local clubs. In 2020, Cavassa independently released an eponymous debut record produced by collaborator Jamison Ross. In 2021, she was crowned a winner of the prestigious International Sarah Vaughan Jazz Vocal Competition. Later that year she was discovered by Joshua Redman’s manager at an event in New Orleans, leading to their 2023 collaboration on Redman’s where are we. After the release, Cavassa toured extensively across the U.S., Europe, and Asia with the Joshua Redman Group from Fall 2023 to Spring 2025. Blue Note records announced they had signed Cavassa in 2024, quoting label president Don Was, “listening to Gabrielle sing is an experience akin to having her whisper secrets in your ear, the intimate honesty of her storytelling is breathtaking – she will be a major musical presence for decades to come.” Cavassa’s Blue Note debut is set to release in Spring 2026.
