GIACAMO GATES
Jazz Vocalist
Since his teens, Giacomo has been playing and singing jazz. He has recorded several CDs, performed in jazz festivals world wide and performed with well-known jazz artists, such as Lou Donaldson, Walter Bishop, Randy Brecker, and John Faddis. Giacomo is on the faculty of the Neighborhood Music School, The Hartford Conservatory and Wesleyan University.
Scatting Around (Grades K-12)
Giacomo’s smooth and powerful baritone voice adds
new dimension to the word vocal, as he sings in his own
vocalese style. He scats, imitates the sounds of
instruments and approaches his vocals as a member of
the band, singing lyrics set to complex melodies originally
played as instrumental solos. Students will experience an
unforgettable exposure to jazz classics, big band and
swing and will learn about creating jazz music from the
inside out. Length: 45 minutes
