Subtle Lines, Big Impact

Parlato's singing lives from control, richness of colors, and an almost chamber-music tension. Her career took her through the Thelonious Monk Institute, winning the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Vocals Competition, and albums like Gretchen Parlato, In a Dream, The Lost and Found, Live in NYC, and Flor. She received a Grammy nomination for Flor; additionally, the album was awarded the German Jazz Prize. ([de.wikipedia.org](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gretchen_Parlato))

Quartet with High-Profile Lineup

In Augsburg, she is supported by a band with a strong profile: Alan Hampton on bass and guitar, Jacob Mann on piano, and Mark Guiliana on drums. This lineup promises finely balanced synchronization, buoyant grooves, and open spaces for improvised moments. This is where the strength of this quartet lies: no loud spectacle, but a concentrated live experience with clever orchestration and a lot of emotional depth.

The Botanical Garden as a Sound Space

The Botanical Garden Augsburg is located at Dr.-Ziegenspeck-Weg 10 in 86161 Augsburg and offers a rare setting for a summer concert with its green backdrop. According to the City of Augsburg, parking is available at the entrance; in case of high visitor turnout, alternative parking is suggested at the Park-and-Ride lot near Spickelbad.

Live Atmosphere Between Evening Light and Jazz Fineness
