Horn player Gabriel Mark Hasselbach counts his lucky stars in the hope of receiving his first GRAMMY® nomination

 

“Count Your Lucky Stars” is up for GRAMMY® consideration in three categories. The Juno Award-winning jazz musician makes his debut at the Catalina JazzTrax Festival on October 17.

 

 

VANCOUVER, BC (10 OCTOBER 2024): Juno Award-winning (Canada’s GRAMMY® equivalent) horn player Gabriel Mark Hasselbach hopes that the lucky stars are aligned for his first GRAMMY® nomination to cap a prolific year during which he released two albums. His latest Windtunnel Records release is “Count Your Lucky Stars” and music from that set is presently up for first-round consideration in three GRAMMY® categories: Contemporary Instrumental Album, Best Jazz Performance, and Best R&B Song.

 

Hasselbach wrote and produced “Count Your Lucky Stars” with Lew Laing Jr. (Paul Brown, Richard Elliot, Norman Brown). His 18th album is a 13-song exploration through contemporary jazz rhythms, grooves, and melodies. One of Hasselbach’s unique musical signatures is that he plays multiple horns – flugelhorn, flute, and trumpet - on every track, emoting through each distinctive horn voice, tapping into his fervent passion while displaying technical prowess and proficiency as he colors, shades, and texturizes each song.

 

Released in August, “Count Your Lucky Stars” is up for GRAMMY® consideration as Best Contemporary Instrumental Album. Hasselbach spent two years crafting the album that he considers to be his best to date, calling it “the crown jewel of my catalog.” Its title comes from Hasselbach’s years dedicated to personal development, including a gratitude practice that utilizes positive affirmations and visualization.  

 

Hasselbach’s explosive multi-horn flugelhorn and muted trumpet solo in the album opener, “SunSeeker,” is in the running for Best Jazz Performance. He shares the spotlight with GRAMMY® winning and Billboard chart-topping saxophonist Marion Meadows. Both artists lived in Hawaii for a time, and they turn the magic and majestic beauty of the Hawaiian Islands into song on the track.

 

A standout tune vying for Best R&B Song, “We Are” features the distinctive and caramelly voice of Juno and American Music Award-winning singer-guitarist Alfie Zappacosta. Hasselbach has a long-running tradition of including one vocal song on every album and he wrote this dramatic showstopper with Laing Jr. and Zappacosta.  

 

It’s rare for a jazz musician to have success on both sides of the genre – contemporary and straight-ahead - but Hasselbach is that artist who is equally comfortable in traditional New Orleans jazz settings as well. Having his peers and the Recording Academy voters recognize his body of work would bring the validation he craves along with the opportunities to perform on larger platforms.

 

“It’s said that one needs to put in 10,000 hours to be considered a pro or a master at their skillset. At this point, I have doubled or likely tripled that number. Downbeat magazine coined the term TDWR: Talent Deserving Wider Recognition. I believe that moniker aptly describes my career. The exuberant accolades have piled up over the years with my track record of gold-selling records, eleven Billboard hits, a Juno Award and many other national awards including Album of the Year from the Canadian Smooth Jazz Awards. I have recorded and performed with GRAMMY® winners, GRAMMY® nominated artists, and Billboard chart-toppers (Michael Bublé, Jeff Lorber, Paul Brown, Paul Hardcastle, Bob Baldwin, Marc Antoine, Tom Scott, Greg Manning, Darren Rahn, Warren Hill, Rob Tardik, Bob James, Chuck Loeb, Larry Coryell, Ernie Watts and Bob Mintzer among them). I believe a GRAMMY® nomination would validate my work in the eyes of my peers and the industry, allowing me greater opportunities and wider exposure. We all strive to create a lasting legacy, so acknowledgment from the Recording Academy via a GRAMMY® win or nomination would dot the I’s and cross the Ts on the completion of my mission statement,” said Hasselbach, a Denver native who is a longtime resident of Vancouver, British Columbia.

 

Hasselbach opened summer with the release of “The Vocalists,” an album of 18 vocal tracks spanning straight-ahead jazz, R&B, blues, and adult contemporary pop selections culled from his catalog. The compilation features Bublé, Dee Daniels, and an accomplished assortment of Canadian vocalists along with Hasselbach at the vocal mic himself.

 

A consummate concert performer, Hasselbach has performed around the world at some of the most prestigious jazz festivals including Montreux, North Sea, and JVC. On October 17, he will make his debut at the Catalina JazzTrax Festival on the island 26 miles off the Los Angeles coastline. 

He’ll share the marquee with GRAMMY® winner and Academy Awards nominee Ray Parker Jr.

Trump Shits on the Military

from: Phillip Twist

This is a short list of things trump has done for our troops. Scaled down actually

• ⁠In May 2020, the White House ended National Guard deployments one day before they could claim benefits
• ⁠The Trump admin seized 5 million masks intended for VA hospitals. Kushner distributes these masks to private entities for a fee, who then sells the masks to the government
• ⁠Trump fired the captain of the USS Theodore Roosevelt after he warned superiors that COVID19 was spreading among his crew. The virus subsequently spread amongst the crew.
• ⁠After Iran's retaliatory strike, 109 US troops suffered brain injuries. Trump dismissed these as "headaches"
• ⁠Pardoned multiple war criminals, which stomped on long standing military values, discipline. (May&Nov, 2019)
• ⁠Trump’s Chief of Staff worked—in secret—to deny comprehensive health coverage to Vietnam Vets who suffered from Agent Orange.
• ⁠There is a facility in Tijuana for US veterans that Trump deported. Wounded war vet, Sen Duckworth (D) marked Veterans Day 2019 by visiting this facility
• ⁠Russia took control of the main U.S. military facility in Syria abandoned on Trump’s orders. Russia now owns the airstrip we built
• ⁠On Oct 7, 2019, Trump abruptly withdrew support from America's allies in Syria after a phone call with Turkey's president (Erdogan). Turkey subsequently bombed US Special Forces.
• ⁠In Sept 2019, he made an Air Force cargo crew, flying from the U.S. to Kuwait stop in Scotland (where there's no U.S. base) to refuel at a commercial airport (where it costs more), so they could stay overnight at a Trump property (which isn't close to the airport). Trump’s golf courses are losing money, so he's forcing the military to pay for 5-star nights there.
• ⁠In Sept, 2019, Pentagon pulled funds for military schools, military housing funds, and daycare to pay for Trump's border wall.
• ⁠In Aug, 2019, emails revealed that three of Trump's Mar-a-Lago pals, who are now running Veterans Affairs, are rampant with meddling. "They had no experience in veterans affairs (none of them even served in the military) nor underwent any kind of approval process to serve as de facto managers. Yet, with Trump’s approval, they directed actions and criticized operations without any oversight. They wasted valuable staff time in hundreds of pages of communications and meetings, emails show. Emails reveal disdainful attitudes within the department to the trio’s meddling."
• ⁠Veterans graves will be "dug up" for the border wall, after Trump instructed aides to seize private property. Trump told officials he would pardon them if they break the law by illegally seizing property
• ⁠Children of deployed US troops are no longer guaranteed citizenship. This includes US troops posted abroad for years at a time (August 28, 2019)
• ⁠On Aug 2, 2019, Trump requisitioned military retirement funds towards border wall
• ⁠On July 31, 2019, Trump ordered the Navy rescind medals to prosecutors who were prosecuted war criminals
• ⁠Trump denied a U.S. Marine of 6 years entry into the United States for his citizenship interview (Reported July 17, 2019)
• ⁠In June, 2019, Trump sent troops to the border to paint the fence for a better "aesthetic appearance"
• ⁠Trump started his D-Day commemoration speech by attacking a private citizen (Bette Midler, of all people) (reported on June 4th, 2019)
• ⁠Trump made his 2nd wife, Marla Maples, sign a prenup that would have cut off all child support if Tiffany joined the military (reported June 4th, 2019)
• ⁠On May 27, 2019, Trump turned away US military from his Memorial Day speech because they were from the destroyer USS John S. McCain
• ⁠Trump ordered the USS John McCain out of sight during his visit to Japan (May 15, 2019). The ship's name was subsequently covered. (May 27, 2019)
• ⁠Trump purged 200,000 vets' healthcare applications (due to known administrative errors within VA’s enrollment system) (reported on May 13, 2019)
• ⁠On March 20, 2019, Trump complained that a deceased war hero didn't thank him for his funeral
• ⁠Between 12/22/2018, and 1/25/2019, Trump refused to sign his party's funding bill, which shut down the government, forcing the Coast Guard to go without pay, which made service members rely on food pantries. However, his appointees got a $10,000 pay raise
• ⁠He banned service members from serving based on gender identity (1/22/2019)
• ⁠He denied female troops access to birth control to limit sexual activity (on-going. Published Jan 18, 2019)
• ⁠When a man was caught swindling veterans pensions for high-interest “cash advances," Trump's Consumer Financial Protection Bureau fined him $1 (Jan 26, 2019)
• ⁠He increased privatization of the VA, leading to longer waits and higher taxpayer cost (2018)
• ⁠He finally visited troops 2 years after taking office, but only after 154 vacation days at his properties (Dec 26, 2018)
• ⁠He revealed a covert Seal Team 5 deployment, including names and faces, on Twitter during his visit to Iraq (Dec 26, 2018)
• ⁠Trump lied to deployed troops that he gave them a 10% raise (12/26/2018). He tried giving the military a raise that was lower than the standard living adjustment. Congress told him that idea wasn't going to work. Then after giving them the raise that Congress made him, he lied about it pretending that it was larger than Obama's. It wasn't.
• ⁠He fired service members living with HIV just before the 2018 holidays
• ⁠He called troops on Thanksgiving and told them he's most thankful for himself (Thanksgiving, 2018)
• ⁠He canceled an Arlington Cemetery visit on Veterans Day due to light rain (Nov 12, 2018)
• ⁠While in Europe commemorating the end of WWI, he didn't attend the ceremony at a US cemetery due to the rain -- other world leaders went anyway (Nov 10, 2018)
• ⁠He stopped using troops as a political prop immediately after the election. However, the troops remained in muddy camps on the border (Nov 7, 2018)
• ⁠Trump changed the GI Bill through his Forever GI Act, causing the VA to miss veteran benefits, including housing allowances. This caused many vets to run out of food and rent. (reported October 7, 2018)
• ⁠Trump doubled the rejection rate for veterans requesting family deportation protections (July 5, 2018)
• ⁠Trump deported active-duty spouses (11,800 military families face this problem as of April 2018)
• ⁠He forgot a fallen soldier's name (below) during a call to his pregnant widow, then attacked her the next day (Oct 23-24, 2017)
• ⁠He sent commandos into an ambush due to a lack of intel, and sends contractors to pick them up, resulting in a commando being left behind, tortured, and executed. (Trump approved the mission because Bannon told him Obama didn't have the guts to do it) (Oct 4, 2017)
• ⁠He ordered the discharge of active-duty immigrant troops with good records (2017-present)
• ⁠He deported veterans (2017-present)
• ⁠He said he knows more about ISIS than American generals (Oct 2016) and would defeat ISIS in 30 days
• ⁠On Oct 3, 2016, Trump said vets get PTSD because they aren't strong (note: yes, he said it's 'because they aren't strong.' He didn't say it's 'because they're weak.' This distinction is important because of Snopes)
• ⁠Trump attacks Gold Star families: Myeshia Johnson (gold star widow), Khan family (gold star parents) etc. (2016-present)
• ⁠Trump sent funds raised from a Jan 2016 veterans benefit to the Donald J Trump Foundation instead of veterans charities (the foundation has since been ordered shut because of fraud) (Jan, 2016)
• ⁠Trump said he doesn't consider POWs heroes because they were caught. He said he prefers people who were not caught (July 18, 2015)
