"Review Kaslo Jazz Fest"

One performance that stood out for me was that of Gabriel Palatchi and his band. The band showed amazing talent both in playing as well as arranging. There predominant style of music was undoubtedly Latin but a word that Palatchi used when describing his music again and again was "fusion". A fusion ranging from tango and Latin to Jewish and jazz. The group seamlessly mixed all of these styles into and amazing collaboration of all original tunes written by Palatchi himself. Palatchi's album Diario de viaje "travel Diaries" is a fantastic album from start to finish. I listened to the cd extensively leading up the festival and loved it. Their live performance awed the crowds and left people wanting more. I talked with a lot of people who saw the performance and for many of them Gabriel Palatchi and his band were their favourite group of the weekend! - Kaslo Jazz Etc Fest


"Review Raul Da Gama"

He is a skilled pianist, who plays with refreshing virtuosity. His mas- tery of the keyboard does not detract from his ability to play with nu- anced expression. His style is so adaptable that he can play with fine tumbao, holding forth with some of the better known pianists of Cuba and other parts of South America....The beautiful manner in which Palatchi melds old segments of folk music in to the transitions from one of his compositions to the next provides just the right contrast between old and new.
- Raul Da Gama - Latin Jazz Network


"Review Don Albert"

"...This fusion of styles comes from various countries, cultures and religions. There is some excellent flute playing, some funky guitar or beautiful acoustic flemenco guitar playing, trombone, trumpet, alto and baritone sax solos as well, even groovy organ playing, and for the tango feel a bandoneon is included, all underpinned by exotic rhythms. The leaders clean latin piano playing is strong and evident troughout, grooving and adapting in his own way to what's happening rhythm wise. Certanly a highly musical journey trough various exciting and entertaining cultural rythms that seems to inspire the musicians. Bravo maestro for a very good debut album.
- Don Albert - Music critic - Newstime Jazzaholic Southafrica.


"Review John Terauds"

"...The resulting 10-track disc spans the stylistic spectrum from Latin-infused jazz to tango to flat-out dance tracks — all tied together with Palatchi's superb keyboard skills. These people make great music, but don't take themselves too seriously. Their good time is infectious. - John Terauds - Music critic The Star


"Review Hilario Duran"

This album has all the necessary ingredients where Gabriel Palatchi has handled very well the elements of modern jazz with Afro-Cuban and Afro-Latin yet without losing the essence and tradition of these styles.
- Hilario Duran Cuban pianist, composer & arranger


"Review Laura Fernandez"

An intelligent and diverse musical excursion. Top notch musicianship, inventive arrangements and elegant form. A nod to past tradition with a modern and refreshing twist. Pianist, Palatchi was born in Argen- tina and clearly has knowledge of a great variety of more traditional musical styles, he however infuses them with his own expression and musical interpretation to create a traveler’s vision which many will enjoy.
