NEW ALBUM RELEASE!

8 March 2024

In Songs of Love & Solace Gary presents a solo piano album of deeply thoughtful interpretations of an eclectic selection of tunes ranging from familiar jazz standards and popular hits, to a Brazilian classic and a Husband original, extending further still the breadth of his musical output - all delivered with great sensitivity, virtuosity and outstanding harmonic invention. 

“I was keen to do a project turning my musical hand to some timeless old material and conveying some of it in my kind of way. Since I took some heavy personal loss in recent years, I really felt in a place where I needed to make an album of this kind. It’s one I experienced tremendous cathartic value making. In a big way, it’s my “blue” album."

"Brother Gary, I just listened to your “If I Should Lose You” which is quite marvellous. You are taking contemporary romanticism into another realm of harmonic extension without losing the essential romanticism that can never be replaced by abstractionism. Bravo!”

John McLaughlin

GARY WINS TOP AWARD FOR JAZZ INSTRUMENTALIST OF THE YEAR

London, July 2023
Gary is thrilled to have been awarded Jazz Instrumentalist of the Year at the All Party Parliamentary Jazz Awards 2023. The award celebrates his musicianship on both drums and piano.

GARY'S MARCH CHALLENGE

"For the whole month of March, I am rising to the 'March the Month' challenge to help raise funds (and awareness) for Prostate Cancer UK, a charity close to my heart.  It involves me walking 11,000 steps every day. This isn't a random number but rather soberingly, the number of men who die from prostate cancer in the UK every year.  That’s one man every 45 minutes.
The charity does amazing work in researching the disease, raising awareness and supporting men and their families affected by the disease.
If anyone would like to sponsor me and raise funds for the charity, you can do so at my JustGiving page here. 
Even the smallest amount - in any currency - would be enormously appreciated. 
Thank you so much, 
Gary 🙏"

IMPROVING YOUR MUSICAL SKILLS

Gary has built up a reputation over the years for his original voice as an educator. There is so often so much emphasis placed on precision-perfect technique, gravity-defying chops and breakneck speed but Gary's interests lie far more in finding your own voice, making every note or beat count, making the spaces between count just as much, and having something to say, a story to tell.  If these musical and creative qualities appeal, then do check out the videocasts and masterclasses below, in both piano/keyboards and drums.
