Toots Thielemans said: “I was very impressed with Gabriel Grossi. he is a harmonica player who plays with great ease, and a musician of great explosion. I was also struck by his compositions and his mastery of Brazilian language.”
Although young, Gabriel has an extensive trajectory. In addition to his well established solo career he is, since 2005, member of the Hamilton de Holanda Quintet, winner of the 2007 Tim prize and Latin Grammy Awards finalist for three consecutive times. He collaborated in important projects like touring with the late clarinetist Paulo Moura, with whom he played from 2003 until his death.
His last work was released in 2013 and titled “Urbano”, in a sextet formed by the cream of the new brazilian jazz scene. “Urbano” gives a new approach within the universe of the harmonica.
