Birdland is proud to announce that The Gabrielle Stravelli Trio will return to the historic stage on Monday, May 6 at 7pm.   The Gabrielle Stravelli Trio (Gabrielle Stravelli vocals, Michael Kanan piano, Pat O'Leary bass) celebrates the release of their debut album "Beautiful Moons Ago." With a hard swinging style rooted in jazz tradition coupled with Stravelli's totally modern lyric interpretations, the group brings the American Songbook to life. "Beautiful Moons Ago" features twelve rarely heard gems from jazz and The American Songbook by well-known writers like Jule Styne and Cy Coleman as well as lesser-known writers like Doris Fisher and Clara Edwards. The album was recorded at the legendary Rudy Van Gelder Studio.   Over twelve years of collaborating, the trio has developed a musical connection that allows for great spontaneity in their performances and reflects their true joy in making music together. The American Songbook is no museum piece for this group, but a living, breathing testament to the power of a beautiful melody and lyrics that allow us to find our shared truths.   The Gabrielle Stravelli Trio Celebrates “Beautiful Moons Ago” Monday, May 6 at 7pm Birdland, 315 West 44 Street, NYC BirdlandJazz.com or 212-581-3080 $30
