Eletric Car

Cochemea Gastelum, one of New York City's most in-demand saxophonists, has been a key player in the blossoming new soul and Afrobeat scenes that have leapt out of Brooklyn to take the world by storm in recent years. The versatile Brooklyn-based musician has performed and/or recorded with a diverse group of artists, including Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Archie Shepp, Paul Simon, Antibalas, Public Enemy, The Roots, The Budos Band, Robert Walter's 20th Congress and Amy Winehouse. With 'The Electric Sound of Johnny Arrow,' his debut release as a solo artist, Gastelum has carved out a whole new sound. An eclectic listener as well as player, Gastelum has drawn from a myriad of influences, including the effects-laden excursions of Eddie Harris' electric saxophone, the percussion-driven orchestrations of War and the winding horn dimensions of Mulatu Astatke.
