About this concert
Award-winning jazz vocalist Gabrielle Stravelli and pianist/vocalist and Grammy-winning composer and recording artist Billy Stritch (Broadway’s 42nd Street; long-time accompanist for Liza Minelli) pay tribute to two of the greatest jazz vocalists of all time—Ella Fitzgerald and Mel Tormé—backed by a three-piece jazz band. Broadway World raved: “Gabrielle Stravelli and Billy Stritch blow minds with Mel & Ella Swing… [they] aren’t just two performers working in the music industry, they aren’t just two artists with an understanding of jazz - they are two of the best."

Gabrielle Stravelli and her trio delivered 90 minutes of non stop entertainment that cannot be beat. If you love jazz and a voice that performs it in an outstanding manner, you must see Ms. Stravelli.
As an aside, the food served at Gregory's was not only delicious but the portions were oversized. Will be back.
