Spaghetti Eastern Music at Rock da Casbah

Three sets with Spaghetti Eastern Music, the genre-leaping solo project of Saugerties guitarist/keyboardist Sal Cataldi. In Spaghetti Eastern, Cataldi marries acid jazz-fueled guitar instrumentals and ambient soundscapes a la Fripp and Eno with bare-bones acoustic ballads and folktronica out of the Nick Drake/John Martyn school. The New York Times says Cataldi “has a beat unmistakably his own” while Chronogram called his most recent release, the solo guitar score for the dance piece 2x2x4, “cool, melodic, inspired and transcendent, a wave of sonic warmth."
