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.
