The JACK GATES ENSEMBLE

About Me

From early beginnings as a pop and jazz musician in California, Jack Gates has evolved a very personal and evocative musical style.
Through a broad range of performing and recording experiences with Marcos Silva, Jeff Narrell, Claudia Gomez, Liza Silva, David Belove, Nayo Ulloa, Kit Walker, Joanne Shenandoa, Chuck Metcalf, and many others, Jack Gates has consistently brought an innovative and imaginative approach to sound and arrangements.
Strong melodies, exciting right hand flourishes and exotic rhythmic pulses are fused in the acoustic guitar of Jack Gates. Brazilian choro, jazz chording and flamenco duende are brought together in a singular musical montage. brbrYou are now marked on my profile visitor map!
