Rockin' the Ribjoint Saturday!

We always have so much fun, so join us on Saturday! 

This week the inimitable Billy Mendoza, Nick Apivor and also Steven Ley will join me on classic songs. 

The food is awesome and I will be featuring a set of New Orleans style bluesy jazz. 

Rezzies recommended for 7-ish!! 

Come down the drive alongside the highrise at 1000 Beach, and enter the parkade where it designates restaurant (free) parking!


What a Saturday in store for you!


​
The weather is rocking this weekend so don't miss the waterfront patio voted one of Vancouver's Top Ten! 

The music is jazzy and soulful (that's my dept) and we have special guests Mimi Snider, Gunther Klaus, and Steven Ley joining me. I'll also be doing a mini tribute to Miles Davis's Kind Of Blue album in the early set, so come hear some classics.....

Chef Scott has prepared a special menu, and that alone is reason to come- check out his Saturday Specials:
 
Tomato Basil Soup with Garlic Croutons
Tuna Sashimi with Ponzu, Cilantro Sauce
Grain Fed Veal Chop with Rosemary Sauce & Seasonal Vegetables
Orange Crème Brulee
 
 PS The veal chop is huge!

Hope to see you there, we always get jiggy!

New video edit of Open Invitation CD release

Here is a good highlights reel of the exciting cd release show at Blue Frog Studios Concert Stage for Open Invitation!


"Gabriel Mark Hasselbach's new CD Open Invitation, on which he wrote all the tunes and plays trumpet, flugel, alto and C flutes, valve bone, and EVI, is a tour de force of arranging and production..... Gabriel sounds great on everything.... no easy task, and should be really proud of this one! You'll find yourself humming these tunes when you least expect it!" ~ Randy Brecker -multiple Grammy winning trumpeter (Brecker Bros, etc)

Kenny 'Blues Boss' Wayne show and more!

I had a great night performing with the incomparable Blues Boss last night for two sold out shows. Kenny is a consummate performer and is the darling of international festivals from Brazil to Switzerland to Spain to the States! 

I couldn't resist grabbing my phone while we were performing onstage to capture a particularly hot moment (below).

Tonite I am at TenTenTapas.com for my regular Saturday funky and swinging gig, with special guest Mimi Snider, who has a special and inviting twist on the Bossa Nova genre. Still the jazziest bistro in Vancouver!

Sunday I am performing with the indefatigable Billy Dixon and Soultrain Express on the Queen of Diamonds Harbour Cruise (1 pm) No one will get wet, so come and party - only a few tickets left!
