“The project probably fits easiest under the jazz fusion umbrella, but even there, Preston pushes boundaries — incorporating atmospheric keyboard tones, feeding their instruments through a chain of effects pedals for a psychedelic effect, bringing in local MC Josh ‘Eyeso’ Donovan to bar down on a few tracks.” - John Vettese, WXPN 88.5 GPS is an experimental creative fusion jazz project based in Philadelphia, initially formed in 2019 with the sole purpose of being able to stay open within the jazz realm and explore different avenues of melody and improvisation, through traversing and combining different styles of playing with both common and odd rhythms and meters. Philly native Gabe Preston is the founder of the band with their wide palette of woodwinds and compositions, meanwhile keyboardist and right-hand man Anthony John Passante-Contaldi also makes significant contributions to GPS’s explorations through an abundance of keyboard sounds and some compositions of his own. Both musicians are currently driven by Declan Fischer on bass and Jack Thomas on drums. Styles of influence include fusion/nü jazz, hip-hop/R&B, prog/math rock, avant-garde/free jazz, and even classical. The band released their debut album, [to the stratosphere], in late 2022. Since that time, they've been willing to reach further distances both physically and musically, within the Philly area and beyond, knowing they will always be able to deliver a little something for everyone in the process.
