180 GRAM VINYL LP (Pre-order now, out 11-09-2026)
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, 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.
