To Perform at the Warner Friday January 24

Torrington, CT –The Warner Theatre’s Friday night jazz series continues on Friday, January 24 at 8pm with Argentine singer/pianist, Gabriela Anders.

Gabriela was born to music amidst the grace, paradox and tradition of Argentina. Her father is a noted jazz saxophonist, his father, a classical violinist and her grandmother, a piano teacher. Gabriela studied classical guitar privately and music and piano at a Conservatory in Buenos Aires. After high school, she moved to New York where she studied orchestration brass and strings and began writing her own music. Influenced by Brazilian pop and the music of her native Argentina, Gabriela Anders spent much time in America soaking up the music of tenor specialists John Coltrane, Stan Getz and Dexter Gordon. She also studied with Don Sebesky and began singing with Grover Washington, Jr. and Tito Puente while going to college.

“Anders combines the distinctive voices of the bandoneon and Brazilian guitar to underwrite her sublime vocals, giving her music a touch of tango romanticism and a taste of samba cool. Anders is multi-talented artist who is destined to leave her mark on the jazz world.”Billboard Magazine
