Last year Gabriel Mark Hasselbach enlisted the writing and production skills of Grammy nominated keyboard icon Jeff Lorber, and an exciting and distinct sound was born. Jeff's strong sense of groove helps frame and support the color and texture of Gabriel's trumpet, flugelhorn, various flutes and digital winds. The new project slow cooked to perfection and is being served piping hot now! Special guest performances from Warren Hill, Victor Bailey and Rock Hendrix.
