"As a pianist I have been inspired by many jazz greats. To name a few; Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and Thelonious Monk. As a composer, I have been influenced by jazz, classical, pop and film composers from Bach to the Beatles, from John Coltrane to John Williams. Music has been in my blood as far back as I remember. I enjoy writing different styles of music whether I'm playing the music myself or writing for other musicians. With today's computers and technology a composer's boundaries are endless. Writing and producing music continues to be exciting and challenging." - Gary

Hi Gary, looks like I'm flying to Australia from NY - damn, I would have loved to get to LA, but I'm visiting Universal NY (which is actually better).

I finally made it onto Aussie TV. f

Ohhh... my Goodness! My family and I are enjoying "Movin' Thru L.A." SO much! I've been buried with graduation parties and office deadlines, but the positive vibrations your music exudes, does wonders to lift me up when my energy is low!

We've been playing your CD at our family gatherings... My brothers also agree with me that you captured the true essence of L.A. :o)


May your fountain of creativity continue to flow with endless inspiration...

Hope all is well with you... Sending smiling light :o)
