A band so new it doesn’t have a name yet: musicians Gabriela Anders and Wayne Krantz have temporarily escaped from New York City to collaborate on a duo filled with improvisation, spontaneity, soul, experimentation & beauty, rhythm’n groove, playing and singing.

 

A bunch of original songs old and new, solo & duo performance, Strat/electronics/keyboards/

percussion and a nylon-string

guitar.

 

GA and WK  2 very different musical careers collide head-on, intentionally, in the name of creative music!

Argentina Review of the debut show in Buenos Aires- Boris

"Acabo de ver tremendo show musical en Boris

Club: GABRIELA ANDERS, voz y percusión y WAYNE KRANTZ, guitarras, haciendo una música osada, sin concesiones y, a la vez, totalmente disfrutable, con letras inteligentes y generando un clima en verdad singular: ¿Cuántos artistas pueden hacer un repertorio totalmente inédito y no escuchado antes y sostener la atención del público durante mas de hora y media?

¡Fantástico show! Bueno, luego más detalles, fotos y próximas fechas en el interior del país. Y los que se lo perdieron aquí en Capital... me comentaron off the record que habrá revancha en noviembre..."

WAYNE KRANTZ

Ex/sideman with Steely Dan, Michael Brecker, Billy Cobham, Victor Bailey, Mike Brecker, has made six albums under his own name since 1991; three on the Enja label ("Signals", "Long to Be Loose" and "2 Drink Minimum"), one on the Alchemy label ("Separate Cages") and the self-produced CDs "Greenwich Mean”, “Your Basic Live”, and his latest release: ‘Good Piranha Bad Piranha’

Wayne's two early recording bands were a trio with Zach Danziger and Lincoln Goines from '92-'95 and a trio with Tim Lefebvre and Keith Carlock from '97-'03, have toured in Europe and the US, and regularly found at NYCs 55 Bar on Thursday nights. Without the excess of promotional hype, the music found a devoted, underground, international audience who, with their growing support, keep the music moving forward. Wayne has also toured and recorded with the Chris Potter's band and Dave Binney. He recorded in the Grammy Award-winning 2006 album by Donald Fagen. 

In 2008 Wayne wrote one book about improvisation: ”An Improviser's OS”. 

Wayne plays regularly in New York City, the US, Asia and Europe with his bands which feature Anthony Jackson, Keith Carlock, Cliff Almond, Ari Hoenig and Nate Wood.

He is in the process of creating a new project that will, no doubt, continue to undermine Establishment complacency at every turn. The shape, color and personality of that project is, at present, shrouded in secrecy. 

GABRIELA ANDERS

Gabriela is one of the most accomplished and appealing contemporary vocalists creating today. Her debut album on Warner Jazz, "Wanting,” comprised of all original material, enjoyed significant success and earned critical praise. Her well-known performance with George Duke at the Montreux Jazz Festival brought international attention.

While on Warner, she recorded with Al Jarreau, Bob James, George Duke and Michael Franks. Her second record for Warner, “Gabriela”, featured an array of world-class sidemen, including Christian McBride, Amir “Questlove” Thompson and Kirk Whalum. Gabriela was subsequently signed as an artist with Narada/EMI and JVC Japan. The resulting records, 2004's “Last Tango In Rio” and 2009's “Bossa Beleza”, featured her own music as well as her arrangements of Brazilian standards. In her commercial work, Gabriela has been the  “voice” for Coca Cola, Mercedes Benz, Crest, Dr. Pepper, Folgers, Clairol, Fanta and many other national advertising campaigns in the US and Europe.

Gabriela new CD, "Cool Again", beautifully displays the significant gifts as singer, vocal orchestrator, songwriter and bandleader she has steadily developed through her previous releases. As most of the tracks were cut live in the studio, Gabriela's singular and remarkably interactive musical nature is strikingly evident here.

Cordoba Jazz Festival/Noviembre 2015 Ricardo Cortez Review:

Experimentaciones sonoras, superposición de pistas, sutileza con ritmos latinoamericanos y la enorme guitarra de Krantz. La propuesta de Anders-Krantz, que promediando el show tuvo la compañía del trío que los había precedido, estuvo muy cerca de los viajes sonoros y la electrónica sin olvidar las raíces culturales de Gabriela Anders ni la trayectoria guitarrística de Krantz. Una versión con pistas de Balderrama, una especie de folklore de vanguardia propuesto por Gabriela fue el momento de calma del show. La voz utilizada como instrumento para generar pistas y luego cantar sobre eso una melodía es un recurso aparentemente no agotado. Luego con la base del trío volvieron a calentar la sala que aplaudió de pie el cierre del concierto.

Krantz confirmó que sigue siendo uno de los guitarristas más interesantes de la actualidad y que no teme al desafío de tocar distintas músicas, navegando por varios estilos.
