64th GRAMMY AWARDS NOMINEE -
Best Jazz Vocal Album
...you hear the voice — that voice,
one of the most dreamily mellifluous timbres in jazz, is instantly recognizable.
Gretchen Parlato, the Grammy-nominated composer and vocalist,
and one of the most imaginative and inspiring artists on the scene, is back.
And oh, how we’ve missed her.
...her brilliant new Brazilian-flavoured album on Edition is her best yet.
