GIACOMO GATES, Jazz Singer

Saturday, February 28 at 8:00PM

Tickets: $30/$25 Jazz Club and GPAC Family

Blessed with a full-bodied and mellifluous voice, extraordinary rhythmic precision and an unerring sense

of lyricism, Giacomo Gates' total command of the vernacular, boundless creativity and exuberant passion of jazz

sets him apart from nearly every other vocalist on the scene.

Gates is truly an entertainer, delivering music for all ages and styles along with witty patter and stories

about the music so that every performance becomes a fun lesson in jazz history. With repeat engagements at

major clubs in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, D.C., LA, New Orleans, and San Francisco, Gate's enormous

appeal and popularity are obvious.

He sometimes vocalizes as an instrument - trombone, trumpet, bass, and improvising bass lines or drum

sounds in support of the piano solos. Giacomo states "Some of my favorite singers are Dexter Gordon, Ben

Webster and Lester Young. They were singing through the horn. If that isn't singing, I don't know what is!"
