Agachiko at Arts at the Armory

Featuring Gabrielle'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.

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....
