Andy Gabrys: Classic jazz guitar sound in modern day setting.


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.

Andy's music has appeared in multiple commercials:
• Knorr Soup
• McDonalds
• Galbani
• Oakley
• Buick / NCAA);

on various TV programs:
• Sesame Street
• American Pickers
• Inside
• Joan and Melissa
• Joan Knows Best?

• Flipping Out
• Howe and Howe Tech
• MTV Live

and in a variety of short films, and the feature length films; Liberia'77 (2011) and spOILed (2011).

Before living in New York City, Andy attended the Berklee College of Music on scholarship (2002-2004) and graduated Summa Cum Laude.
