This is the 239th in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Support live music – even when it’s streamed!

An adventurous jazz singer and songwriter, Gabrielle Stravelli graduated from the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, has toured with Wynton Marsalis’ Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra, worked with Fred Hersch, and led her trio every Saturday night at New York’s West Bank Café.

Among her recordings was a full-length set of Willie Nelson songs, interpreted as jazz.

For her LiveStream of April 25, 2020, Gabrielle Stravelli performs a stardards- oriented set of duets with bassist Pat O’Leary that includes inventive and swinging versions of “It Might As Well Be Spring” (which is taken much faster than usual), “‘Deed I Do,” “I’m Glad There Is You,” “Too Close For Comfort,” “You Turned The Tables On Me,” and a cooking “Goody Goody.”
