Gagné’s music is, in her own words: “a bit straight-ahead jazz, a bit bluesy soul, a bit thoughtful/spiritual stuff, and a little bit of edge for some sauce.” Groove and rhythm are a hallmark of a Gagné set, as she is also a pianist, composer and percussionist trained in West African drumming. Her seasoned rhythm section provides world-class musicianship. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAVfk0aJ_sY
