Spaghetti Eastern at Pearl Moon

Spaghetti Eastern Music is the genre-leaping solo project of Hudson Valley guitarist/keyboardist Sal Cataldi. Spaghetti Eastern marries acid jazz-fueled guitar instrumentals with bare-bones acoustic ballads straight out of the Nick Drake school. The New York Times says Cataldi “has a beat unmistakably his own” while Time Out New York praises his " delicate guitar work and the hauntingly moody atmosphere he conjures.” Called “beautiful and unique” by WFUV’s Mixed Bag and “charmingly melodic and off-center” by WFMU. Chronogram called his most recent release, the solo guitar score "2x2x4, “cool, melodic, inspired and transcendent, a wave of sonic warmth and light."
