Michigan is the second album by musician and composer Gastón Reggio and his first for Instru Dash Mental records. Featuring a stellar cast of musicians such as Rob Dixon, Francisco Fattoruso, Rebecca Kleinmann, Ramiro Flores, and Nair Mirabrat, it not only beautifully showcases Gastón's prowess as a  drummer but a composer as well.

​​Previously released as a single and also part of the album "Ya no verás" was awarded a recognition in the Jazz Fusion category songwriting competition by the "Premios Nacionales de Música del Uruguay" and brought a strike of validation to the innovative compositional approach Gastón was able to achieve, as well as a fresh new sound in the arrangements and textures of the production.

​In the border of being wholly World Music and not necessarily Jazz, "Michigan" introduces a multi dimensional fusion not only of these genres, but also provides landscapes of geographical landmarks of sorts in the way of music.

The first composition in the set "Michigan" gives the name to the album and provides an energetic rhythmic bang to the beginning of the setlist. This music is a landmark for Gaston's first home in the US while in Ann Arbor and a milestone for his journey to document his arrival to a new home.

​​True to a geographical journal of sorts "Crossing the Appalachians" feels like the marrying of the folk feels of the United States vistas and Gaston's South American roots with all of its rich textures and sensibilities that make the marrying of these two cultures an original and fresh approach to World Music and Jazz.
