The Wise Ones

The Wise Ones is the new album from Gretchen Parlato , one of the defining vocalists of her generation, whose phrasing, tone and rhythmic instinct have reshaped the language of modern jazz singing. Fifteen years after In a Dream helped redefine the role of the voice in contemporary jazz, Parlato returns to the sound that set that shift in motion. Reuniting with Robert Glasper , Gerald Clayton , Mark Guiliana and long-time collaborator Alan Hampton , The Wise Ones brings together songs written across two decades - new reflections alongside earlier compositions, shaped into one cohesive narrative. At 50, Gretchen Parlato writes from a place of balance, gratitude and presence, holding a clear perspective between youth and elderhood. Featuring Becca Stevens , Amber Navran , Meshell Ndegeocello and Josh Mease , the album traces a generational circle - artists influenced by Parlato now creating alongside her. The Wise Ones asks a quiet but resonant question: how do we honour who we were while embracing who we are becoming? The answer unfolds through space, groove, restraint and emotional clarity, marking a defining statement from one of the most influential voices of her era. Available on solid gold coloured vinyl and digipak CD editions.
