GIACOMO GATES at Lyric Hall

The amazing Giacomo Gates will kick off JAZZ WEEK NEW HAVEN 2017 with an appearance at the Lyric Hall Theatre in New Haven on Saturday, October 14 at 8:00 pm.   Doors open at 7:00 pm.  Tickets are $30.00.  This event will sell out !    Jazz Week New Haven is produced by Jazz Haven and runs from Saturday, October 14 through Saturday, October 21, 2017.

Appearing with Mr. Gates will be the extraordinary pianist John DiMartino, bassist Ed Howard and drummer Vince Cherigo.   There will be one set only.  This event will sell out so get your tickets early.

Lyric Hall Theatre is located at 827 Whalley Avenue in the Westville area of New Haven 06515.  203-389-8885.  Parking is on street or in the municipal lot just a short walk away.  Doors open at 7:00 pm.

Mr. Gates and the band will be performing songs from his latest CD, What Time Is It?, as well as others.   Here’s what the critics are saying about What Time Is It?

What is it that separates a “jazz singer” from the wannabes? While many people are known as or call themselves jazz singers, only a handful truly merit the name. Giacomo Gates, whose latest album What Time Is It? is his seventh (and fourth for Savant Records), is one of the chosen few. Why? Well, as the saying goes, if you have to ask . . .    Jack Bowers

Giacomo Gates digs interesting songs that, more often than not, have a clever twist to them. What he delivers—and what you hear—is not always what you expect.  – Ken Frankling

Gates still doesn’t get the attention, even within our insular jazz world, that I think he deserves.  If you haven’t heard him before, “What Time Is It?” is a great place to start.  –  Curt’s Jazz Cafe

Giacomo Gates sings like the life he’s lived; he was a blue collar worker before changing careers to sing like a world wise sage. This latest album of his is simply delightful, a mix of stories, advice and observations on life through song.  –George Harris

Gates uses classic jazz phrasing, laidback bebop scats and cool vocalese to get his message across; to find musical answers to life’s perplexing questions.  -Suzanne Lorge

Giacomo Gates is a singular figure in today’s jazz scene, and once again he delivers an irresistibly magic collection of jazz vocalizing.   –  Joe Lang
