ALBUM OF THE YEAR – RADIO OCEAN  by Unpinnable Butterflies

SONG OF THE YEAR – "YOU " - by Gabriel Judet-Weinshel

BEST ARRANGEMENT, INSTRUMENTAL AND VOCALS – "SANTA MARIA" arr. Scott Healy

PRODUCER OF THE YEAR – SCOTT HEALY

 

‘Musically, stylistically, poetically and narratively so deep, expansive, clever and ambitious …’

--from Jonathan Wildran at JW Vibe


Gabriel’s second collaboration with producer Scott Healy, “Radio Ocean,” was released on sonaBLAST! in the summer of 2021. It’s a sprawling and raucous affair, over a decade in the making. The record expands the sound of Gabriel’s sometimes intimate first record into a wider, free-wheeling and eclectic stew, channeling everything from country, to west African guitar riffs, to classic rock.

Healy and Gabriel have outdone themselves in assembling a who’s-who of A-list talent once again. The 13-tune album features a returning Shawn Pelton and Curt Bisquera (Mick Jagger, Tom Petty) on drums, the totemic Lee Sklar (James Taylor, Jackson Browne, Carole King) on bass, Jason Orme (Alanis Morissette) on guitar, a full horn session comprised of Conan O’Brien’s Basic Cable Band veterans; as well as featured guest appearances by Americana darlings Birds of Chicago (JT Nero and Allison Russell), the saxophone prodigy Grace Kelly (Jon Batiste, Lee Konitz), songstress Jessica Childress (Aloe Blacc, Portugal the Man), indie maverick Kate Tucker, and chanteuse Perla Batalla (Leonard Cohen). As perhaps a sly nod to his filmmaking twin identity, Gabriel’s colleague, the esteemed rock photographer and director Danny Clinch, plays harmonica.
