Good news!
Kissed By The Sun climbs the
Billboard Monitored charts to #26
We had a huge crowd outdoors and had to accommodate the standing ovation with a kicking encore! Walle Larsson joined the band on saxes, along with a crack team from Winnipeg:
Jordan Jackiew on keys, Curtis Nowosad on drums, Aaron Shore on guitar, and Julian Bradford on bass. Ernie Nathaniel shot some great video which I will soon share!!! Later!

Today, Aug 14, is the last public Vancouver show for me this summer. Come on down:
Aug 14 at 11:30 - 1:30 @ Metrotower II Plaza, on the south side of Metropolis (Kingsway and Willingdon area, but further east on Central Blvd). Look for tenting and the big fountain... And the funky and smoking' band!Friday I am off to Winnipeg for a Sunday outdoor show at the Lyric Theatre in the Park, then pn to Quebec City and Montreal after that. It has been a good summer! Played LA, Vegas, Tucson, Phoenix, etc... with icons such as Paul Brown and Jeff Lorber...
BTW, my new disc Kissed By The Sun is still moving up the charts with more spins at radio than ever! Great revues of the cd at my blog www.gabrieljazz.posterous.com
When you go to my regular Facebook page, be sure to flip over to my music page.... That's a better place to hang out.....
Below is a multi-panel painting in progress of me by the famous artist/musician Raymond Chow, who is arguably Vancouver's most versatile and prolific renaissance man. Thanks Raymond!
