Gabriela’s “Last Tango In Rio” EMI and “Bossa Beleza” JVC Japan feature beautiful arrangements of her favorite Brazilian standards. Her “Los Dukes” project presents the music of Duke Ellington in a wide range of Brazilian styles such as: baiao, bossa nova, samba. She has recorded with great musicians such as Al Jarreau, Bob James, Christian McBride, Amir “Questlove” Thompson and Michael Franks. She twice performed at the Montreaux Jazz Festival with George Duke’s band.
One of very few jazz vocalist/arrangers on the scene, Gabriela puts her stamp of unique creativity on this unexpected format with incendiary results. Her unique marriage of Brazilian, Latin and Jazz led to Vogue and People Magazine describing Anders and her music as “exotic and bold”, “wonderfully soulful”, and “one of the most distinctive new voices to hit the music scene in years”.
