    With the album \u201cBridge\u201d Gabe Katona shows his contemporary jazz keyboard artistry while keeping the dynamics from his R&B and rock background. His contemporary jazz compositions are spirited and multi-faceted, yet romantic. Gabe\u2019s songs are crafted through his soulful approach to melody and rhythm. His piano sounds are full, sweet and crisp with intriguing melodies. Gabe\u2019s compositions are highlighted with his touch on the Hammond B3 organ, the Wurlitzer and Rhodes electric pianos, clavinet and the saxophone. Gabe rounds out his music with use of unique orchestration and rhythms adding to the intrigue of his compositions.<\/p>\n

    Gabe\u2019s solo adventure, \u201cBridge\u201d, melds together his experiences as a songwriter, composer, session musician, producer and as a member of legendary music groups. He toured and recorded his keyboard work on four of Rick Springfield\u2019s platinum albums and the gold single, \u201cJessie\u2019s Girl\u201d. As a member of Rare Earth, he co-wrote two of their Billboard charting songs, recorded and toured. He was regularly called to play keys in LA music sessions, including for artists such as Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, The Temptations, Jackson 5 and Richie Furay and for legendary artists Redbone, Player, Climax Blues Band and Motown artists. That\u2019s Gabe driving the groove with his clavinet on the Jacksons\u2019 \u201cDancing Machine\u201d. Gabe played keyboards and saxophone for three years with Starship as they performed across the U.S, Canada and Japan. He performed on some of Starship\u2019s recordings from live concerts and appeared in some of the videos. Gabe\u2019s diverse career crosses a variety of genres in his work with many other artists, film and television projects. As a solo artist, Gabe was inspired to blend his jazz, R&B and rock experiences and influences to create his melodic and soulful contemporary jazz album \u201cBridge\u201d.\u00a0 Gabe Katona\u2019s \u201cBridge\u201d takes you on a journey that you will want to experience over and over again!<\/p>\n

    REVIEW<\/strong>
    \nGabe Katona’s “Bridge” Sets a New Bar for Feel-Good Music<\/p>\n

    If there were ever an album that fit the definition of \u201cfeel good\u201d music, this would be it. Gabe Katona\u2019s newest release, Bridge, is a smooth jazz excursion that will exude positive emotions and hopeful musings for the listener. A first listening will demonstrate excellent musicianship, delightful arrangements, and skillful engineering that stands up to the best in audio craftsmanship.<\/p>\n

    In today\u2019s musical world of composers holding down one note on a synth to create a groove, you will highly appreciate Gabe\u2019s terrific chops on grand piano, Rhodes and Wurlitzer electric pianos, clavinet, Hammond B3 organ, synthesizers, saxophone, and drum and percussion instruments. The Hammond B3 sound, in particular, jumps out of the track as if you were in the studio control room listening to a take.<\/p>\n

    No doubt everyone has different tastes and prefers one song over another. For me, the title cut, Bridge, is a winner, but I happen to like the opening cut, Sunjammers, the most. It\u2019s irrestible, and never tires after multiple, consecutive listenings. Other musicians on the album include, Jamie Rogan on drums on Hot or Mild, Jimmy Bowland on flute, soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone sax on Hot or Mild, and Chris Cottros on guitars on Once Upon a Dream and Playtime.<\/p>\n

    You don\u2019t have to specialize in Country Music to live and work in Nashville, Tennessee. Nashville and surrounding areas have evolved into a more diverse music scene. Katona, in addition to recording and producing his own original music, produces and records other up-and-coming artists in the area.<\/p>\n

    If you pay attention, you will sense musical influences from jazz, rock, R&B, blues, and funk. Having played with major acts such as Rick Springfield, Jackson 5, and The Temptations, Gabe also played keyboards and sax during a three-year musical journey with Jefferson Starship, on tour and in the studio.<\/p>\n

    I kept looking for something to criticize on this album, but I gave up after about three weeks. In other words, it\u2019s a great album that is certain to provide hours of satisfying listening.<\/p>\n
