Gabriela Anders:\u00a0<\/span>Singer\/composer\/arranger<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
Gabriela Anders\u00a0was born to music amidst the grace, paradox and tradition of\u00a0 Argentina. Gabriela studied classical guitar privately, and music and piano at a\u00a0 Conservatory in Buenos Aires.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Adding to the musical medley was her father\u2019s influence (a noted jazz saxophonist and arranger) which became even stronger than her classical studies. After finishing high school, Gabriela decided to move to New York. There she studied orchestration for brass and strings in a class conducted by Don Sebesky and composition at Hunter College. Gabriela started to write her own material. Her studio and club work took off leading to a record deal with major label\u00a0Warner Brothers Jazz.<\/span><\/div>\n

Gabriela Anders\u2019 debut album on Warner Bros. Records, (1999)\u00a0\u201cWanting<\/strong>\u201d\u00a0is brimming\u00a0 with vocal subtlety; although smooth, it is anything but simple. It features arrangements and production by Paul Brown, George Duke, Allain Mallet and Anders herself. The album elicited much praise for Anders\u2019 vision and impassioned vocal style. Her unique marriage of Brazilian, Latin and Jazz led to Vogue and People Magazine describing Anders and her music as \u201cexotic and bold\u201d, \u201cwonderfully soulful\u201d, and \u201cone of the most distinctive new voices to hit the music scene in years\u201d.<\/p>\n

Her second record for Warner Bros Records was a European release entitled \u201cGabriela<\/strong>\u201d which featured an array of world-class sidemen, including Christian McBride, Amir \u201cQuestlove\u201d Thompson and Kirk Whalum. Again, she contributed ten of the album\u2019s twelve tracks.<\/p>\n

Her next CD \u201cLast Tango in Rio<\/strong>\u201d was released in 2005 by major label EMI. \u201cLast Tango in Rio\u201d is a collection of songs closely associated with Billie holiday that have been uniquely transformed by Gabriela\u2019s interpretation and orchestration. Hailed by critics (Los Angeles Times, Billboard magazine and People magazine)) as highly -original and creative presentation of standards, \u201cLast Tango in Rio\u201d represents a fresh and effervescent take on a classic song book that has previously defied reinvention. In October of 2009, JVC Japan released her CD \u201cBossa Beleza<\/strong>\u201c. \u201cBossa Beleza\u201d blends her own immediately recognizable sound with that of her first musical love, classic Bossa Nova.<\/p>\n

Gabriela Anders\u2018 2015 album, \u201cCool Again<\/strong>\u201d, beautifully displays the significant gifts as singer, vocal orchestrator, songwriter and bandleader she has steadily developed through her previous releases. The mix of original and cover songs on \u201cCool Again\u201d finds Gabriela at her best. The soulful funk of the original title track is a classic example. Its message of empowerment can be considered a core theme in Gabriela\u2019s lyrics and a source of her resonating appeal as a performer, entertainer and artist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

2020 CD ‘The Ring<\/strong>‘: While facing the fear and uncertainty of the virus in New York City, Gabriela recorded a piano\/voices collection of songs at her home studio, creating intimate portraits of inner struggle and redemption against the bizarre backdrop of the pandemic.\u00a0<\/span>The project\u2019s three pianists – Jim Ridl, Jean-Michel Pilc and Jon Cowherd – are radically different stylists from different corners of the world, here each offering their unique sensibilities to Gabriela\u2019s voice and music.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2021 CD release Gabriela Anders\u2019 \u2018Los Dukes<\/strong>\u2019!\u00a0Los Dukes\u00a0is a new 9 piece band arranged and directed by Gabriela Anders, featuring songs from the Duke Ellington\u2019s catalog done in wildly distinctive Latin American styles.\u00a0A Latina\u2019s tribute to the music of Duke Ellington.\u00a0Los Dukes<\/strong>,\u00a0pays loving tribute to the elegant GENIUS of Duke Ellington and includes some of the best Latin Jazz players on the New York scene.<\/p>\n

Hailed by critics (Los Angeles Times, Billboard magazine and People magazine) as ‘highly original and creative artist’, a ‘multi-talented artist who is destined to leave her mark on the jazz world’ and\u00a0the ‘most promising jazz influenced artists today’.<\/p>\n
