Change of Performer
Wednesday, July 30 - Gabrielle Stravelli (Jazz)
(formerly Alexis Cole Quintet)
Alexis Cole serves our country as the vocalist with the West Point Band's Jazz Knights, and she has been called to active duty tomorrow. We have found a show-stopping replacement for her, another female jazz vocalist in the American Songbook tradition - Gabrielle Stravelli.
Award-winning vocalist Stravelli has garnered critical acclaim and a loyal following through her original songs and her unique take on material from the New American Songbook as well as classic standards by artists as varied as Pink Floyd and Duke Ellington, Dolly Parton and Johnny Mercer. She has won rave reviews for her current performances of sold-out shows at New York City's Metropolitan Room. "As she dipped and swooped, twirling notes and phrases with a confidence and playfulness that recalled Ella Fitzgerald in her prime, Mr. Stravelli began interpreting lyrics with a ferocity that her vocal pyrotechnics accentuated..." - Stephen Holden, New York Times
