MidCentury Modern Vol. 3 follows in the footsteps of Vol. 1 & 2

I figured I'd do something a little different for this recent album session, and the classic organ combo was the answer. I grew up on Jimmy Smith and the whole cadre, and always had that smoky groove in the back of my mind. Jason DeCouto, Nick Bracewell, and I already had a working trio and had all worked with John Lee, so that was the missing piece.  

I sent these to my friend Randy Brecker to get some feedback and song order suggestions, and he wrote back with this paragraph, which will make nice liner notes!

I'll Be There This Christmas 

I'll Be There This Christmas 

Here is the storyline:

I’ll Be There This Christmas 

The flugelhorn - a German word meaning winged horn- is the perfect instrument for Gabriel to present ‘I’ll Be There This Christmas’ to the world.

The oft-told tale of a musician on the road, missing out on important family milestones, frames this storyline. 

Loneliness and longing give way to a bright outcome as all parties set in motion a journey to a long-awaited Christmas reunion. 

Gabriel’s sweet sound drives the concept, and orchestrations by Daniel Seguin perfectly underscores the memorable melody and chorus.

Gabriel Mark Hasselbach is a nimble and lyrical flugelhornist, flutist, and trumpeter with mad skills. He has 15 albums under his name, 11 Smooth Jazz Billboard hits, a West Coast Music Award, plus the 2011 Canadian Smooth Jazz Album of the Year, and Instrumentalist of the Year Awards.

Back in 1976, Vancouver's premier Jazz Impresario Willi Germann presented the budding new group on the scene: GIBRALTAR.

GIBRALTAR featured a tenor-trumpet front line with Alex Michie and Mark Gabriel Hasselbach respectively, ace guitarist Russel Chan, hotshot drummer Daryl Miller, keyboard whiz Peter Dalzell, bassist Ken Williams, and a special vocal highlight from Joani Bye.

GABRIEL'S RADIO GOLD and MIDCENTURY MODERN. DOWNLOAD PAGE FOR BROADCASTERS ONLY. LINKS BELOW.

Gabriel Mark Hasselbach is an anomaly in the jazz world, an award-winning mad skills artist who walks a tightrope over the great jazz divide. He is a well-seasoned trumpet/flugelhorn player, who also performs and records on flute, vocals, and valve trombone. He’s a true jazzer at heart, nailing down the trifecta of Mainstream, Contemporary, and NOLA styles, all the while knocking on the clubhouse door of the oh-so-rare crossover giants such as Bob James, Chuck Loeb, Randy Brecker, George Benson, Marcus Miller, etc.   He has several straight-ahead albums that have impacted the JazzWeek charts, but is best known in the Smooth Jazz world with 14 critically acclaimed releases, nine Billboard hits,  Album of the Year Award,  Instrumentalist of the Year Award, several JUNO awards (Canadian equiv of a Grammy), and a plethora of other awards including West Coast Music Award and gold album awards.   Gabriel has two recent projects mining both ends of the spectrum and causing quite a stir.   Last April he debuted MidCentury Modern Vol 1 at the New Orleans Jazz Museum, at the 2018 New Orleans Jazz Festival. MCM Vol 1 is a straight ahead old school romp that features jazz titans such as Ernie Watts, Cory Weeds, and Miles Black, and seasons it with some NOLA style hotsauce. DOWNLOAD OR STREAM THE ENTIRE MIDCENTURY MODERN CD AND BOOKLET HERE.   (if you need .wav files email info@windtunnelrecords.com)   On the other side of the coin, Gabriel recently released Radio Gold, which has already started up the Billboard chart arc with ‘Most Added’ status the first day it dropped. It is a 19 track retrospective of his best contemporary works, including his Billboard hits, plus a brand new radio single Way After 8. This track features the iconic Brit guitarist Ronny Jordan, and is Ronny’s last recording before and after his untimely death in 2014. Gabriel's soaring flugelhorn and Ronny's fluid guitar is a match made in heaven.

He also goes deep into the straight-ahead jazz lexicon, too. Gabriel works out of Vancouver, Phoenix, and New Orleans, and has performed in a plethora of countries, and has even performed for Presidents, Royalty and Bill Gates.   He has recorded and/or performed with well-known names like George Benson, Bob James , Jeff Lorber, Chuck Loeb, Brian Bromberg, Bob Mintzer, Warren Hill, Paul Brown, Jeremy Monteiro, Larry Coryell, Marc Antoine, Bob Baldwin, and a host of others.   Gabriel’s recognizable sound and innate lyrical style are key components in his ability to create succinct and inviting jazz content, without dumbing it down, regardless of which side of the jazz fence it falls.   Available at GabrielJazz.com,   WindtunnelRecords.com, and all digital outlets.

WAY AFTER 8 went for adds March 18, 2019, and made the ‘Most Added’ chart the first day out and we are hoping to make this his 10th Billboard hit!  Radio support: Neal Sapper   +1 (510) 260-0004   newworldjz@gmail.com

Gabriel was working on Way After 8 a few years back, before guitarist Ronny Jordan's untimely death. It took a while to get all the clearances, but here it is in all its glory, a testament to the magic of the Gabriel/Ronny combination! 

This is a George Benson /Ronny Jordan co-write, and it really lets the guitar sing and leaves plenty of room for Gabe's tasty and emotive flugelhorn and flute. 

If you aren't all that familiar with Ronny, you should be, as he was iconic and prolific, especially in the UK, and worked with many of today's greats like Marcus Miller. Check him out on Wiki.

What the critics say: http://gabrieljazz.com/reviews.htm

MidCentury Modern Vol. 1:

"I just had a chance to listen to Gabriel Mark Hasselbach’s album “MidCentury Modern” and was astonished by all the great playing and great production values. Whether playing on a swing or funk tune, his great tone and impeccable phrasing comes through every time, like liquid gold. My favourite tracks are Mississippi Jump and Terra Firma, where he and Ernie Watts swing their buns off, and UberSmooth where Gabriel shows off his ability to make hearts melt. Gabriel Mark Hasselbach has outdone himself on this album."

Jeremy Monteiro - Singapore-based International jazz pianist/composer/author and EFG Bank International Arts Ambassador

"Very nicely done, adroitly performed and produced. Truly a high-level project." Rick Scott  Great Scott P.R.oductions (unsolicited)

"Once again, Gabriel Mark Hasselbach has produced an album of fine jazz... he swings hard.... you can wrap yourself up in his music and feel warm and satisfied. It’s the fiery  Gabriel Mark Hasselbach, on trumpet, (sometimes flute), that brings this project to a boil. He keeps the music alive and swinging throughout. Hasselbach always manages to insert bold funk and lovely melodies into productions that make you want to dance, sing  and swing."

JAZZIN’ IT UP By Dee Dee McNeil/Jazz Journalist

Wind Tunnel Records- The boutique jazz label, the home of Gabriel Mark Hasselbach

MidCentury Modern is a winning trifecta -  the complete Gabriel - a seamless melding of straight ahead, contemporary, and NOLA styles. It is a trifecta of jazz where the sum is greater than the parts! This is a cohesive album nonetheless, with classic tunes featuring erudite and extensive soloing; beautiful ballads that coax out a hidden melancholy; and exuberant New Orleans flavors that get the party started.
