Denver Local Collective of forward thinking musicians.

Hello, I’m Gabriel Gravagno. I am an active jazz drummer on the front range. I host the Friday jazz session at the Mercury Cafe. I play standards and my own compositions, but also a broad range of styles with a variety of bands in the area. I can bring a trio, quartet, or quintet to your event.

 

Gabriel Gravagno is the leader and founder of Messenger Music Collective, a consortium focused on playing  jazz, latin jazz, free jazz, hip hop, and Neo- soul, with multiple iterations and lineups including jazz combos, more RnB songwriter groups, and 8-10 piece bands. He holds a performance degree from Colorado University of Denver, and has studied with Colin Stranahan, Todd Reid, Ari Hoenig, Allison Miller, and Tommy Campbell. He has played at Denver Venues such as, Dazzle, Larimer Lounge, The Bluebird, and the Brown Palace, and in Boulder, Muse Performance Space, and Hotel Boulder-ado, and has performed alongside musicians such as Brad Goode, Jeremy Pelt, Charles Blenzig, Peter Stoltzman, Rob Kassinger, Gonzalo Teppa, Hugh Ragin, Harold Sumney, Dawn Clement, and Kenneth Walker.
