Saw her performed in france with jusha redman group her voice was indescribable and her effortless vocal presentation render you helpless , you had to concentrate on the story she attempts to tell 😍😍😍
That album of course had “CHAMELEON “ , the extension of “THRUST”, both the twin births of fusion, “VEIN MELTER”… opening up the bass clarinet to fusion, the 2nd “WATERMELON MAN”, the 1st FUNK instrumental and the very unknown and underrated “SLY” a fiery up tempo Afro Brazilian chart.
He was great the other night at d.b.a. on Frenchman Street, New Orleans, June 14, 2024 Enjoyed dancing to his music. He was definitely 60 years old then and so was I!
Hes bringing real melodies back to soul music. Its a refreshing reminder that our vocal skills are still here. Good music brotha. Proud of you. We are.
"Wah Wah" Would Crack Me Up When He Would Get Into His Groove. The Head, Neck, Shoulders Would Be Doing Their Own Thing While He Was "Deep In The Groove" 👌🏿.
Bravo to Gabrielle and the musicians! What a wonderful grouping of song choices and participants. Gabrielle, your singing in Italian, che' bella. Now if we could only get these along with some other songs on a new LP❤ Your first LP is wonderful.
