Acclaimed singer and former member of the SFJAZZ Collective, Greatchen Parlato teams up with innovative guitarist and longtime Herbie Hancock and Terence Blanchard collaborator Lionel Loueke to perform material from their highly-acclaimed new duo album Lean In. Conceptualized, written, and recorded while in the grips of a global pandemic, the recording tells the story of 20 years of connection, inspiration and friendship between "musical soulmates" devoted to experimentation and ascension.
In the Guardian's recent 4-star review, they describe the music on the new album as "dreamy Brazilian echoes of Astrud Gilberto and Carlos Jobim on Astronauta, a Brazilian standard from the bossa nova era, but the palette is wide, embracing west Africa, R&B - I Miss You, an 80s power ballad by Klymaxx - and even a Foo Fighters cover."
"Lean In shows the breadth of their globe-spanning interests and dazzling versatility, but most important is the heartfelt warmth through every moment."
