| GIACOMO GATES
'Gates convinced me that he's not only a master at singing inventive
bepop lines and Iyrics, but of straight-ahead ballads as well. His
enunciation is crisp and clear, his baritone voice rich, true and
musical. He's always got a sense of humor in his voice and he swings."
- Phillip Elwood -- S.F. Examiner
Mr. Gates has the ability to relate to children as well as adults,
and is an outstanding personality who would do well in any position
that relates to muslc.

Perf. Arts

"Gates sings and scats songs in a way that's nothing
short of amazing. A sort of human synthesizer, he imitates musical
instruments such as bass, flute, drum and trombone."
- Mary Kunz Buffalo News

a lovely deep sound, and matches that with a deep affection for
Jazz."
- Bill Bennett--Jazz Times

- Frank Spena Clearwater, FL Jazz Fest
"I enjoyed your 'edutamment' approach with the lyric you wrote
