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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58098871009654,"sku":"5060509793365","price":12.11,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_15138555_1284903_20260618101823.jpg?v=1781782127","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/5060509793365-the-wise-ones","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
