by Mike DaRoncoOriginally starting out at the University of Miami's music department, vocalist and keyboardist Gabe Dixon got together fellow students Winston Harrison (bass), Chandler Webber (alto saxophone), and Jano Rix (drums) in 1998 to play a number of local coffeehouse shows under the moniker of the Gabe Dixon Band. With their fusion of jazz, funk, and classic rock that looks up to Sting, Stevie Wonder, and Dave Matthews Band, the band would eventually graduate from college, self-release their debut album, More Than It Would Seem, and relocate to New York City before the end of 2000. On A Rolling Ball appeared two years later. Warner Brothers released the EP Live at the World Cafe in 2005.
