About this event

Gabrielle Cavassa Gabrielle Cavassa Tuesday, December 3, 2026 7:30 PM *AT THE ATHENAEUM MUSIC & ARTS LIBRARY* BUY TICKETS The Athenaeum Jazz Fall 2026 Series concludes on Thursday, December 3, with an Athenaeum debut by rising jazz vocalist Gabrielle Cavassa. A singer and composer, Cavassa 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 was hailed as “a young singer with a deep, rich, and fragile voice…a star in the making.” Born in Escondido of Italian descent, Cavassa began “obsessively listening” to records from a young age. She received a B.A. in Music from San Francisco State University but credits the Bay Area music scene for her “real education”. She moved to New Orleans in 2017, where she continued her education in local clubs. In 2021, she was crowned a winner of the prestigious Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Vocal Competition. From 2023-2025, Cavassa toured extensively around the world with the Joshua Redman Group. Stereophile wrote, “Her voice gets under your skin. 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.” The concert will be in person at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library (1008 Wall Street, La Jolla, CA 92037).
