June 26, 2023Beautiful player with a heart of gold!
Gabe was incredible to work with! We hired him to play for our wedding, and we are thrilled with the choice! He was so attentive, responsive and open to new ideas. We are especially impressed with his ability to connect with people, and worked very well with our vocal soloist. He was nimble and pivoted when song choices changed, and he was a delight to be around! He even joined us for dinner, as he fit right in with the guests!! Highly, highly recommend!

June 7, 2022Dynamic Musician
In our life’s journey, we come across a few musicians that are above the beat. I had the opportunity
of being engaged in a jam session with three dynamic players. And, on both extremes of the spiritual
spectrum, GABE KUSLANSKY has the skills to be a jazz giant!
I enjoyed listening to his talent and observing his showmanship. I look forward to our time one more again…
