Gretchen is the bomb!!!

[jazziko]

Gretchen Parlato is amazing jazz singer. I was in her live concert in NYC and personally met her. She is one of the most talented musician. It's interesting to hear african song in a bossa- style. Herbie my all time favorite. This album must be very interesting indeed

I will search for this cd. I discovered Lionel Loueke at Herbie Hancock's last gig in barcelona.. They were playing the most beautiful song in the show and it was Loueke's song - African Soup
