Saje on Gabriola, ()
June 22, 2010

Ah, Yes! There’s a little gypsy in all of us!  Toe-tapping, swaying to the lilt, romantic rhythms sung in the native language of these gifted performers. “Saje” took us on travels through Italy, Spain, Hungary, France, Ireland spinning songs of passion and then slipped us back to Gabriola. It was a full house at The Roxy on Saturday, June 5th, and “Saje’s” CD launch party. Lou Gradanti, Maestro & arrangements, piano and accordion sang delightfully in his native Italian. Andrea Georgiev and Sam McDonald on guitar enchanted us with their sultry melodies. Ben Giordano on guitar and drum, originally from Monaco complimented the group with French and Spanish persuasions with a voice of warm caramel, smooth as velvet . And on the violin, Jeremy McDonald, played a unique blend of stirring Celtic, haunting train, and delightful dreams around the bonfire. The finale was a knock you back in your chair, and lift you up off the ground solo, a classic, Czardes,brilliantly performed by Jeremy. Watch out for more “Saje” on Gabriola. They’re addictive. My fav : All 15 of them all on one CD for $15. Recorded at The Octave Studio, contact Lou at 247-7245.
