New Gabriel concert video


Here is a video you haven't seen from the Blue Frog Concert Stage with Cory Weeds, Miles Black, Nino DiPasquale, Tim Stacey, and myself:  

This was a mix of classic and contemporary material, but I think it all fits together nicely. It's all rather 'me' centric, but it is just for promo, not a concert DVD...  :0 

There are some other camera angles, but I'm having a hard time getting the files to assimilate into the project. This is just a sweet board mix from superstar mixer Pat Glover, and succinct video by Garth Balint... nice job!

The other cats actually played the most exciting stuff, but I'll save that for the full length version if it can come to fruition... This was also my first full length show with the Tromba Ultralight plastic trumpet and flugelhorn...... they feel, look, and sound great! I can always count on my Wedge mouthpieces as well... they fit like a glove...

I have some cool gigs coming up... I'll be performing at NAMM in LA for five days in January (20-25, Hall D Booth 2012), then off for 10 days in Tokyo the first week of February, and April 2 & 3 I am in AZ at the Chandler Jazz Fest, with the dream team of Mel Brown, Lamar Gaines, Adam Armijo, and Buddy Banks. That is April 2, and the 3rd I am in concert with the esteemed northwest guitarist Michael Powers. 

Watch for me locally at Frankies, Blue Martini, Curve, and Ten Ten Tapas....

Thanks for listening, and kudos to all the great players and production folk I get to work with!

Urgent Event Alert!

This is an especially exciting week in a very busy season! 

A few Special Events really call out for your attention and attendance, both at Ten Ten Tapas:

This Thursday, there is a very fun and different kind of event:

MURDER MYSTERY DINNER

It's a present-day CSI / Law and Order type Detective Show with a comedic flair performed by professional* actors (no cheesy or cliché characters/plots.) You are plunked right in the middle of a hilarious homicide investigation ... beware the red herrings and remember ... you could become the leading suspect!

Includes live suspects, clues, twists & turns and prizes for the tables coming up with the funniest & best solutions.

All seats are VIP. You are in the middle of the action no matter where you sit; the actors are hidden amongst you, and just could be the nice looking lady sitting on your left. Included is a 4-course meal crafted by Ten Ten Tapas Chef, Paul Stephen with choice of soup, salad, entrée and dessert. $68 + tax & gratuities.....  and I am personally offering a special $10.10 off per ticket for anyone mentioning my promo code of "GabrielMM1010"

Ten Ten will provide a glass of bubbly (or non-alcoholic sparkling) to all of Lisa's friends coming for her birthday. She is one of the strongest singers in Vancouver, and will be performing tracks from her new album- we have a rocking night planned, including some jazz and blues, and a full set of Adele favorites.... 

This will be a full-on Birthday Bash, and the last music filled weekend before the Ten Ten New Years Eve bash! 

Come join us at 7 pm.... rezzies recommended 604-689-7800.



Exciting entertainment at my cynosure!

This December marks two years and three New Year's Eves at Ten Ten Tapas! It has been a great place for me and a good thing for the music scene in Vancouver....

I am at Ten Ten tonight, but it is closed to the public for a private buyout Christmas Party. We are back to normal next week, Dec 19, but will be closed the following two Saturdays, as they immediately follow the holidays. Dec 19 is Lisa Fennell's birthday and we are going to have a party! She'll sing (of course) and we invite you all to come join in the festivities!

The entertainment at Ten Ten Tapas is happening pretty regularly on Thursdays with Up and Coming Artists; on Romance Night Fridays with Rossi on nuevo flamenco guitar; me getting jazzy with guests on Saturdays, and R & B on Sundays....

Saturday music announcements

Christmas Jazz started in earnest on Dec 1, and today will be lots of fun.

I am performing with the superb LJ Mounteney and Jon  Roper at Granville Island 12:30 - 1:00 pm at the Market Grill, and 1:05-1:30 at the Net Loft. Do some shopping and enjoy the tunes!

Later on at 7 pm, I am at my usual Saturday cynosure at Ten Ten Tapas. It'll be jazzy, but I'm not laying the Christmas jazz on too thick just yet! Special guests tonight will include Linda Szentes (who has Ella Fitzgerald down pat) and Garth Balint (who has a tender trumpet style).

We have a new Chef Paul there, who has unveiled his fall-winter menu, and it really steps up the game there. I am in LOVE with his lamb shank, with its special glaze and beet dichotomy~

Reservations recommended 604-689-7800

Tonight's Unveiling....

I am at my usual haunt tonight at Ten Ten Tapas starting at 7 pm. As you know I have my special brand of cool jazz with some blues mixed in- and always special guests!

Tonight is rather special as we unveil the new Head Chef!

~Introducing Chef Paul Stephen~

We are excited to have Executive Chef Paul Stephen heading up our Kitchen Team at Ten Ten Tapas. 

Paul brings over 18 years of experience to the table with both casual and classical fine dining training at Cioppino’s Mediterranean Grill, La Terrazza Italian Restaurant, The Fairmont Hotel and the The Flying Pig.

He worked his way up to the Head Chef position by the young age of 24 and was recipient of the “Best Fine Dining” restaurant outside Vancouver award 5 years in a row at the Saint Street Grill in Port Moody. Paul was Executive Chef of an international wine & tapas restaurant in Bangkok where he was known for his creative tapas and for his passion in the kitchen.

Chef Paul’s approach is a balance of simplicity and creativity. Fresh/seasonal/local ingredients are essential and everything is made-from-scratch. You can taste the difference when an abundance of love has gone into the preparation of your meal. 

Come taste what you’ve been missing. Menu below:
