Discover The Gabe Dixon Band
-
Artist:
This is piano rock done right. If you yern for the early Elton John, Leon Russel or Ben Folds Five piano rock goodness, you'll really like this trio. Here's a bit more about them from their Myspace page:
Formed nine years ago by Dixon—then a classical piano major at the University of Miami—and his two college roommates, bassist Winston Harrison and drummer Jano Rix, they added a sax player and spent several years specializing in jazz-inflected, heavily improvised excursions, showcasing the virtuosity of the players. Dixon's elevated chops also led to some high-profile moonlighting: along with performing with Alison Krauss, O.A.R. and others, the talented youngster played keyboards on Paul McCartney's Driving Rain, while also backing the great one at the internationally broadcast "Concert For New York City." McCartney offered him the keyboard slot for his world tour, but Gabe respectfully turned him down to focus his energies on his band's then yet to be released Warner Bros. debut.
This is from their 3rd CD. I'd get them all, if I were you.
