Gabe Katona - Bridge - Signed (CD)

AUTOGRAPHED CD. Gabe Katona’s contemporary jazz album “Bridge” transports the listener with 14 breezy, feel-good tracks that highlight smooth grooves, sophisticated arrangements and upbeat melodies. Gabe’s original contemporary jazz compositions embody his soulful approach to melody and rhythm. He highlights his compositions with his touch on the HammondB3 organ, the Wurlitzer and the Rhodes electric pianos, the clavinet and the saxophone. Gabe rounds out his music with use of unique orchestration and rhythms adding to the intrigue of his compositions. The single “Monte Carlo” immediately intrigues the listener with keyboard effects punctuated by a grooving bass beat leading into Gabe’s rhythmic acoustic piano melody. The allure of the tune builds through shifts between a half-time syncopated feel interspersed with a string section and Gabe’s grooving rhythmic solos on acoustic piano and on Rhodes electric piano. Gabe’s keyboard artistry and savory arrangements make Monte Carlo a sophisticated, soulful, smooth groove track that will lift anyone’s spirit!
