She will be joined by Art Hirahara on piano, Pat OLeary on bass and Eric Halvorson on drums.
Since Dream Ago was released in January, the album has been getting raves around the country. A five-star review in Downbeat hailed Gabrielle as a lighthouse of emotional integrity and praised the albums versatile band, blissful arrangements and rare tactility. According to LA Jazz Scene, Dream Ago is filled with fresh, melodic and unpredictable music from a brilliant and inventive singer. A continually surprising and stimulating set. The Philadelphia Inquirer called Gabrielle an intense vocalist with a talent for torch-song sadness and a passionate singer of original jazz song with intelligent storytelling abilities. The Buffalo News said the album was truly special and Gabrielle is an arresting talent.
Dream Ago available on the Big Modern Music label features Stravelli's sophisticated original songs, is produced by David Cook (Taylor Swift, Jennifer Hudson, Marianne Faithfull), arranged by Pat O'Leary (Diana Krall, James Moody, Lee Konitz) and features liner notes from Bob Dorough.
