Agachiko
Jazz
Agachiko’s repertoire ranges from originals to Nina
Simone-related
material, classic torch songs and even show tunes given an earthy
reality by Gabrielle’s no-nonsense singing. Arrangements
are written
by Grammy nominated arranger Russ Gershon of the Either/Orchestra, who
provides tenor sax here, and by Ken Field of the critically acclaimed
Revolutionary Snake Ensemble.
Playing small rooms with a growing audience coming along with
them, to
a place of elegance, incredible musicality and sultry ambiance; torch
songs, and joy.
Agachiko is a band populated by veteran musicians who have pared
their playing down to the essentials, all energy focused on
bringing the emotional reality of the songs to life. Featuring
Gabrielle Agachiko's gripping, soulful and technically spot-on voice
and presence, the band sports the unique horn section of flute, trumpet
and tenor sax, along with classic hollow-body jazz guitar, acoustic
bass and drums. The sound can be understated and delicate, bluesy
and brash, or full and lush.
