Say Somethin' Remastered

Remastered with Two Previously Unreleased Tracks

<I>Say Somethin’</i> by Gabriel Mervine has been one of the most popular albums on Octave Records to date. The limited edition SACD sold out quickly and the vinyl was in such high demand a second run was pressed. <I>Say Somethin’</i> has been remixed by Paul McGowan on Octave’s new Pyramix workstation and sounds better than ever. This new edition includes two previously unreleased tracks from the original recording sessions. If you missed out on the first release, this is your chance to complete your collection. If you are one of the lucky ones that secured a copy of the first version, you’ll want to compare and contrast the newly mixed and mastered realism of the trumpet, clarity of the drums and piano, and presence of the bass. <I>Say Somethin’ Remastered </i> is available on SACD and digital download.

Say Somethin' Remastered

Born in Princeton, New Jersey, Gabriel began his professional playing career at the age of thirteen. By the time he graduated high school he was already fast-tracking his way to a career playing the trumpet‚ studying privately with jazz masters Bobby Shew, Roger Ingram, and Greg Gisbert. It wasn’t long before Gabriel began performing with the big acts: Natalie Cole, Christian McBride, The Temptations, Terence Blanchard, Lettuce, Karl Denson, John Scofield, Hugh Jackman, Lonnie Smith, Russell Malone, The Who, Maceo Parker, Fred Wesley, Roberta Gambarini, the Motet, and Houston Person. Gabriel has deeply rooted himself in the traditions of Jazz and Classical music while at the same time contributing to the modern music scene, playing everything from Mariachi to Mahler.
