About the tour
Amazing Grace Presents:
Gabi Hartman (Live)
Fifteen months after introducing herself with an EP, the first full album by Gabi Hartmann, produced with Jesse Harris, has been released at long last. They had met in New York at a 2018 recording session, and Jesse brought talents that have already produced glorious collaborations with such singers as Norah Jones, Madeleine Peyroux and Melody Gardot.
What Gabi brought to the album was her personal musical history in the making, and it is already a rich one. Shespent her childhood in a Parisian family listening to French chansons, rock, and music from all over. Until she was fourteen, she studied classical piano, and then exchanged the keyboard for her brother’s guitar so that she could write songs. Jazz would spring up as a rewind after she discovered Amy Winehouse and the latter’s takes on Ella, Sinatra or Nat King Cole.
Gabi Hartmann would take music classes at the Schola Cantorum and the Conservatoire and make a detour through Brazilian music when she went to live in Rio for two years. She would also study ethnomusicology in London before returning to Paris where she multitasked in projects that covered ten genres in three languages.
Early in 2021, her five-track mini-album introduced a great voice that was both popular and skilled. And that is exactly what this new record confirms: her warm, precise tone with a touch of casual elegance, an equal amount of charm, that of a tightrope walker singing in French, English or Portuguese, even in Arabic for verse or two.
