La voce inconfondibile e lo stile unico di Gretchen Parlato disegnano ricercati percorsi in sintonia con illustri ospiti.

by Katchie Cartwright
November 28, 2024

An intriguingly multi-layered project, Beyond Bossa has unfolded over a number of years. The “beyond" in the title points in a few directions.
