An astonishing piano trio collaborates with an iconic vocalist for an early set of mesmerizing standards and powerful new songs.

Pianist Ryan Hanseler has performed in over twenty five countries and has been featured as a sideman with artists including Branford Marsalis, Herlin Riley, Wessel Anderson, Delfeayo Marsalis, Adonis Rose, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Jason Marsalis, Jazzmeia Horn, Cyrille Aimee, Wycliffe Gordon, Gabrielle Cavassa and more.

Getting his first break at twenty three years old, Ryan began subbing in saxophonist Branford Marsalis’s quartet for his (Ryan’s) teacher and mentor, pianist Joey Calderazzo. Shortly after, Marsalis began a traditional New Orleans septet which Ryan immediately became an integral part of. The short-lived group only performed around ten shows before it ended.

From an early age, Ryan Hanseler found steady work in various big bands, including those of Jon Brown, Delfeayo Marsalis, Adonis Rose, and his current endeavor, the US Navy Commodores Big Band. By his early thirties, Ryan became the pianist for both Delfeayo Marsalis’s Uptown Jazz Orchestra, as well as the New Orleans Jazz Orchestra. He remained a member of each group, performing steadily for three and five years, respectively.

At the same time he was working in big bands, Ryan also worked as a side man in various small groups, as well as leading his own band. One of Ryan’s most successful groups was his Trio which frequently featured Blue Note recording artist, vocalist Gabrielle Cavassa. Working with Cavassa in the capacity of both a leader and a sideman, they managed a five year run working together, including international tours, recordings, and steady local performances in the city of New Orleans.

With her riveting Blue Note debut Diavola, vocalist Gabrielle Cavassa makes her artistic arrival with an album that unveils her range as a band leader, a songwriter, and a fearless song interpreter who treats each gesture with subtlety and reverence. The California-born, New Orleans-based artist presents a collection of original songs and luminous arrangements alongside collaborators Joshua Redman, Jeff Parker, Paul Cornish, Larry Grenadier, and Brian Blade.

Co-produced by Redman and Don Was, Diavola subverts the self-portrait. The album explores coexistences of the angel and the devil — a dynamic central to Cavassa’s artistry and personal identity — engaging a dualism of possession and surrender, of urgency and repose. At once intimate and anthemic, Diavola spotlights Cavassa’s pivotal association with Redman, who invited her into the studio and on the road as a collaborator for his own Blue Note debut where are we, released in 2023.
