Gretchen Parlato Interview


Gretchen Parlato gave us an interview in May. She talked about:

-Her new (third) album, co-produced with Robert Glasper

-Her family background and childhood in LA

-Why she's singing less in Portuguese, but how it still affects what she does

-Rhythm – being the anchor and being the soloist

-Working with the celebrated guitarist from Benin, Lionel Loueke

-Herbie Hancock's “Butterfly,” which has become something of a signature tune for her.

-Laughter – and comedy videos

THE FULL INTERVIEW IS ON THE KINGS PLACE WEBSITE


Gretchen Parlato will be appearing at Kings Place on November 18th in the London Jazz Festival
