Christian Sands Trio / Gabrielle Cavassa

Christian Sands — Steinway Artist and five-time GRAMMY Nominee — is an emerging jazz force. His abundant piano technique perfectly matches his conception, accomplishing a much deeper musical goal: a fresh look at the entire language of jazz. Whether it’s stride, swing, bebop, progressive, fusion, Brazilian or Afro-Cuban, Sands develops the past while providing unusual and stimulating vehicles for the present… and for the future. He expresses himself through an extensive vocabulary of patterns, textures and structures, all the while maintaining a strong sense of understatement, sensitivity, taste and swing.

“To whom much is given, much is expected.” Christian Sands doesn’t disappoint.

Gabrielle Cavassa is a singer and composer, recently signed to Blue Note Records. She was ushered into the spotlight through her collaboration with renowned saxophonist Joshua Redman on his critically acclaimed 2023 record ‘where are we’. In a five-star album review by Downbeat, Cavassa is hailed as “a young singer with a deep, rich, and fragile voice…a star in the making.”

“Her voice gets under your skin,” writes Stereophile, “It is idiosyncratic, but it is trustworthy in its clarity and almost physical in its intimacy…her intuitive interpretations and riveting voice make you sit very still in your chair.”
