I am constantly humbled by some of the great jazz artists that have influenced me and am grateful for the opportunity to be presenting my work and especially proud of my first release. I’m really here.” For more info contact: Andy Gabrys Music ~ Phone: 617.697.1945 or e-mail:andy@andygabrys.com PR contact: www. keymediagp.com ~ Phone: 212.243.4893 or e-mail: keymediagroup@verizon.net
