Los Angeles-based jazz singer Gretje Angell is a new face to the Cleveland jazz scene, even though she’s originally from Akron. With influences from classic jazz vocalists like Ella Fitzgerald, Chet Baker and Carmen McRae and a taste for Brazilian rhythms and swing as well as operatic training and stage experience, she’s currently working on her debut album featuring various ensemble configurations.
She’s sure to appeal to audiences at Nighttown where she’ll be playing this week with a small combo that includes drummer Roy King, keyboard player Stu Freedman and acoustic bassist Marty Bloch. Tickets are $10.
