From Jazz Journalist and Critic, Dee Dee McNeil

HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all contributing press and promotion folks. I have enjoyed listening to and reviewing your amazing artists. I look forward to listening and lending my opinions in 2022.

As a member of the JJA (Jazz Journalist Association) we are encouraged to submit some of our favorite artists that we listened to in 2021. Some of your artists may be listed in my current list.

Over the course of three decades, the Jazz Journalists Association has developed from being a loose coalition of like-minded professional writers, photographers and broadcasters to a 501 (c) (3) non-profit with global outreach through its online programs and community-based initiatives. If you're not already a member, I encourage you to join the JJA.

new Tongue & Groove review

New Tongue & Groove review from noted L.A. Jazz Writer and Critic DeeDee McNeil

Wave.fm review of Tongue & Groove

Tongue & Groove

He's won a Juno. He's won two Canadian Smooth Jazz Awards. He's won a West Coast Music Award. And he's earned several Gold and Platinum albums throughout his career (which included a stint with the Powder Blues Band). So ... what does a boy who was born and raised in Denver, Colorado, but now calls Vancouver home, do next?

He jam-packs a fresh collection with so much talent you just know it's going to be something special. That's not to say that Gabe isn't special enough on his own. He most definitely is - whether it's trumpet, flugelhorn or flute, GMH is an unparalleled vibe-master, always discovering new ways to groove solidly in the pocket.

I'm proud to say I had a hand in picking the lead-off single "Chill@Will". Featuring Bob Baldwin - remember the guy at the Canadian Smooth Jazz Awards Saturday party whose keyboard dropped to the floor and so he dropped with it and just kept on playing? - this track is a delicious blend of funky groove and tasty textures.

Uber-producer (and guitar player) Paul Brown shows up for a spin with Gabe on "Heading North". Paul's unmistakable style (slick and smooth) melds perfectly with Gabe's urban sensibility. "Daahoud" with Chris Standring is another standout, as is "Slipstream Turbulence" featuring fellow Canadian Brian Hughes. I also absolutely adore Gabe's unique take on "Feels So Good" (extended version with Miles Black and Grant Geissman) - an old chestnut given new life with a contemporary twist.

I've known Gabe for a long time and he is not only one of the most exceptionally talented musicians in the biz, he is also a passionate and generous soul, two traits that permeate every note he plays. Tongue & Groove ramps up the maestro's mainstream/contemporary mastery at every turn. I've said it before: "What I love the most about Gabe is his utter fearlessness. Not one to ever rest on past grooves, he charts new and exciting territory with each new CD."

Tongue & Groove is no exception. Keep on grooving Gabe, and we will keep on loving you!

Gabriel Mark Hasselbach & Band @ The TD Vancouver Jazz Festival

Gabriel plays flugelhorn, flute, and trumpet on this set. You can find him at www.GabrielJazz.com
