Andy Gabrys is a multi-talented instrumentalist / composer living in
Santa Fe, NM who enjoys a lot of coffee. He is originally from Chilliwack, BC,
Canada where he learned to play saxophone and guitar in high school.
The album Constant comes from a 5 year period during which Andy lived in New
York city and played at various venues with up and coming jazz artists. Andy's
original music on this album is both forward-thinking and respecting of the jazz
tradition, and while his guitar sound might be compared to Kenny Burrell or
George Benson, his playing and composing approach shows the subtle shading and
rich harmonies of Romantic era composers.
In addition to writing and performing original jazz music, Andy is a composer /
producer of music for TV and Film.

commercials:
• Knorr Soup
