Early years

Jazz at Filoli, Woodside, California, March 2015

Parlato was born in 1976 in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of Dave Parlato,[1] a bass player for Frank Zappa, Al Jarreau, Don Preston, Barbra Streisand, Henry Mancini, Paul Horn, Gabor Szabo, Buddy Rich, Don Ellis, and recorded for TV and film.[3][4] Her grandfather was Charlie Parlato, a trumpeter in the Kay Kyser Big Band, and singer and trumpeter for Tennessee Ernie Ford and Lawrence Welk.[5] Growing up in the 1980s, Parlato says she was a Valley girl.[1]

As a child, Parlato says she was influenced by Bossa nova; "I was flipping through my mom's record collection and the cover of Stan Getz and João Gilberto’s 1963 "Getz/Gilberto" album struck me. The cover had an image of an abstract painting. I took out the album and put it on and I heard João Gilberto's voice, and the texture and simplicity of the music struck me — even at 13 years old. That was definitely a turning point."[6]

Parlato attended Los Angeles County High School for the Arts, then earned a bachelor's degree in Ethnomusicology/Jazz Studies at University of California, Los Angeles.[1]

In 2001 she was accepted into the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz Performance by a panel of judges including Herbie Hancock, Terence Blanchard, and Wayne Shorter. Parlato was the first vocalist ever admitted into the program.

In 2003, Parlato moved to New York City. A year later, she won first place in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Vocals Competition at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. by a panel of judges: Quincy Jones, Flora Purim, Al Jarreau, Kurt Elling, Dee Dee Bridgewater and Jimmy Scott. In 2005 she released her self-titled first album, Gretchen Parlato. In September 2007 she performed with Wayne Shorter at La Villette Jazz Festival in Paris.

Album Releases

In July 2008 Parlato signed a contract with independent record label ObliqSound and in August 2009 released her second CD, In a Dream with Lionel Loueke, Aaron Parks, Derrick Hodge and Kendrick Scott. It was voted Best Jazz Vocal Album in Jazz Critics Poll (2009) and appeared on the annual top ten lists of JazzTimes, NPR, and the Boston Globe.

In Spring 2009 she was featured in The Documentary Channel's 4-part series Icons Among Us: Jazz in the Present Tense.

In Spring 2010 she was nominated for Female Singer of the Year by the Jazz Journalists Association. During Summer 2010 Parlato sold out performances in NYC, Montreal, Paris, The Hague, Copenhagen, Stuttgart and Molde, Norway, with Taylor Eigsti, Alan Hampton and Mark Guiliana and was voted #2 Rising Star Vocalist in Down Beat Critics Poll.

In 2011 she released her 2nd album for ObliqSound, The Lost and Found with Taylor Eigsti, Derrick Hodge, Kendrick Scott, Dayna Stephens, Alan Hampton, and associate producer, Robert Glasper. On this album, she introduced four of her own songs and wrote lyrics to compositions of her fellow musicians and for Wayne Shorter's "Juju." In addition she reinterpreted a samba by Paulinho da Viola and popular R&B songs by Mary J. Blige, Lauryn Hill, and Simply Red. The Lost and Found placed in the top 10 in over 30 polls in the US and Europe. In this same year she was awarded #1 Female Vocalist in JazzTimes Expanded Critics Poll, #1 Rising Star Female Vocalist in Downbeat Critics Poll, #3 Best Female Vocalist in Downbeat Readers Poll and received the ASCAP Eunice & Hal David Award of Merit for Songwriting.

In 2013 she released a live CD/DVD album Live in NYC, featuring two ensembles: Taylor Eigsti (piano), Derrick Hodge / Alan Hampton (bass), Kendrick Scott / Mark Guiliana (drums). The album received a Grammy Award Nomination for Best Jazz Vocal Album, receiving 4.5 stars in Downbeat Magazine, the DVD hitting No. 1 iTunes Jazz Best Music Video upon release. Parlato was awarded #2 Best Female Vocalist in Downbeat Critics Poll.

In late 2013 Parlato took a break from her heavy touring schedule for the birth of her son, becoming a faculty member at the Manhattan School of Music.

In summer 2020, Parlato signed a contract with Edition Records and in March 2021 a new album, Flor, was released, with Marcel Camargo (guitar, musical direction), Artyom Manukyan (cello), Leo Costa (drums, percussion) and featuring Airto Moreira, Gerald Clayton and Mark Guiliana. Flor received a Grammy Nomination for Best Jazz Vocal Album, placed #3 Best Album of 2021 in Jazzwise Critics Poll, and in the top albums of 2021 in Jazziz Magazine, JazzFM, the Guardian and the Arts Desk.

In 2021 Parlato became a member of SFJazz Collective with Chris Potter (musical director, saxophones), Edward Simon (piano), Etienne Charles (trumpet), David Sánchez (tenor saxophone), Warren Wolf (vibraphone), Matt Brewer (bass), Kendrick Scott (drums) and Martin Luther McCoy (vocals). In spring 2022 the Collective released the album New Works Reflecting the Moment. Recorded live, it documents new works from the all-star ensemble which address racial injustices, the unprecedented political polarization and the global pandemic.

Parlato has been a guest vocalist on over 80 recordings, including four Esperanza Spalding albums Songwright's Apothecary Lab (Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album), Radio Music Society (Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album), Chamber Music Society and Esperanza, Kenny Barron's The Traveler, Marcus Miller's Renaissance, Lionel Loueke's albums Heritage and Virgin Forest, Terence Blanchard's Flow, and Terri Lyne Carrington's The Mosaic Project (Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album), Taylor Eigsti A Tree Falls (Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album) singing lyrics as well as wordless vocals.
