MidCentury Modern Vol. 4 is a 20-track powerhouse — the culmination of a lifelong journey to leave the unmistakable mark of a highly decorated professional player on the tracks he loves most. Gabriel Mark Hasselbach honed his sound on the legendary recordings of the Blue Note and CTI eras, crafting a heartfelt homage to major influences like Blue Mitchell, Freddie Hubbard, Chet Baker, and Miles Davis, while also shining a light on underrated masters such as Carmell Jones and Joe Gordon. Impossible to categorize, the trumpeter, flutist, flugelhorn and valve trombone player — who also lends his voice as a singer — channels the hard swinging, groove-driven spirit of jazz from the ’50s, ’60s, and early ’70s with authenticity and style. There are 5 bonus tracks (16-20) online at all DSPs that did not fit on the physical CD.
