On her eagerly anticipated Fall 2026 Edition Records release,   The Wise Ones, Gretchen’s singer-songwriter roots reflect both continuity and   evolution, weaving together jazz, R&amp;B, and soul. The album features new   collaborations with Robert Glasper, Gerald Clayton, Amber Navran of Moonchild   and Meshell Ndegeocello. The recording and touring quartet reunites Gretchen   with longtime bandmates: bassist, guitarist, and vocalist Alan Hampton and   drummer Mark Guiliana—alongside pianist Gerald Clayton.<br><br>
<br>
Featured on over 85 albums, and five as a leader, Gretchen received her   first Grammy Award nomination for Live in NYC (2013) and a coveted 4.5 star   review from DownBeat Magazine with the DVD hitting No. 1 on the iTunes best   music video list. The Lost and Found (2011) received more than 30 national   and international awards, including the DownBeat Jazz Critics Poll No.1 Vocal   Album of 2011 and iTunes Vocal Jazz Album of the Year. Her 2009 sophomore   release, In a Dream, was JazzTimes Critics Poll Vocal Album of 2009 and   hailed by Billboard as “the most alluring jazz vocal album of 2009.”</td></tr>
