Gabrielle Cavassa is a singer. โ€œHer voice gets under your skin,โ€ writes Stereophile, โ€œIt is idiosyncratic, but it is trustworthy in its clarity and almost physical in its intimacyโ€ฆ her intuitive interpretations and riveting voice make you sit very still in your chair.โ€

Cavassa 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 โ€˜where are weโ€™. In a five-star album review by Downbeat, Cavassa is hailed as โ€œa young singer with a deep, rich, and fragile voiceโ€ฆa star in the making.โ€

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 later success. Cavassa received a Bachelor of Arts in Music from San Francisco State University, but says that her โ€œreal educationโ€ came from playing San Francisco jazz clubs throughout her college years. In 2017, Cavassa moved to New Orleans, which shaped and deepened her relationship to storytelling and the blues. She created her first studio record in New Orleans alongside producer and drummer Jamison Ross. In 2023, following the release of โ€˜where are weโ€™, Cavassa began touring with the Joshua Redman Group, a collection of several of todayโ€™s most exciting young players that has performed extensively across the U.S., Europe, and Asia.

Downbeat writes that Cavassaโ€™s work with Redman โ€œevokes another, historic saxophone-vocal pairing, that of Lester Young and Billie Holiday.โ€ Like Holiday, who she cites as her greatest teacher, Cavassaโ€™s expression contains a vulnerability that reaches at the crux of our humanity. Her performance and songwriting are steeped in sensuality, melancholy, humor, and soul.
