Description
Vocalist Giacomo Gates has a warm, intimate sound with the technical chops to do whatever he wants to with his voice. 'What Time Is It?' benefits from tasteful and uncluttered arrangements that allow him to draw in the listener with ingratiating humour, emotional insight, subtlety and exemplary musicianship.
With John di Martino at the piano and Jerry Weldon's tenor sax out in front, the results never feel stilted and in fact Gates comes across as one of the most distinctive singers on the scene. His unique sense of phrasing and insinuating manner of delivering lyrics to songs like "On a Misty Night," "I Didn't Know What Time It Was," and "A Few Bucks Ahead" help assure him a place among today's top vocalists.
Personnel: Giacomo Gates (vocals), Jerry Weldon (tenor saxophone), John di Martino (piano), Tony Lombardozzi (guitar), Lonnie Plaxico (bass), Vincent Ector (drums)
