Gabrielle Cavassa performs a three-night residency at Birdland Theater coinciding with the release of her Blue Note debut album, Diavolo. A First-Prize Winner of the 2021 Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition, Cavassa previously appeared as a featured guest on Joshua Redman's critically acclaimed where are we, with DownBeat Magazine calling her a "star in the making." Produced by Redman and Blue Note's Don Was, Diavolo features drum legend Brian Blade, bassist Larry Grenadier, and pianist Paul Cornish supporting Cavassa's emotionally charged performances.
