Spaghetti Eastern Music at Tilda’s Kitchen

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 “the 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.”
