Gary Lassin

Octave Motives the third official CD release by Gary Fuston including 10 music tracks featuring electric guitar and keyboard synth mixes. All music composed produced and recorded by Gary Fuston under his own production company G. House Productions. After the release of "The Best Of G. Fuston"2003 and "Unwind" 2004, Gary took a break from recording and started promoting independent artists on his weekly internet radio show G. House Jazz & More featured on GHP RADIO. This time Gary was able to take his time on this project compared to the time he devoted to his previous projects therefore he feels that this is a much better production for this CD release of Octave Motives.

The young, Vancouver guitarist and oud player Gordon Grdina sought out Gary Peacock after a Keith Jarrett concert in San Francisco in 2000, and for the next five years Gary became his mentor and teacher. At their last meeting at Gary's house in upstate New York there was virtually no discussion, they just sessioned together for an hour or so, and the next day Gordon asked Gary if he would do a trio record. Gary agreed, and helped bring Paul Motian (another of Gordon's musical heroes) into the picture. Recorded in Brooklyn in January, "Think Like the Waves" is a remarkable international jazz debut, full of compelling original tunes by Grdina and deep interaction by the trio.

Lenny è un vero vagabondo delle nevi, uno ski bum, come li chiamano. Conosce dei posti sulle Alpi dove la neve è incredibilmente luminosa e pura. Posti vuoti pieni di vita vera. Come ogni ski bum, autentici avventurieri dello spirito, fugge di continuo e ha nello sguardo l'espressione avida e inquieta di quelli che vivono soltanto per qualcosa che non c'è, che è sempre più in alto… verso le nevi perenni. Lenny è americano, uno di quegli americani che non si curano della guerra del Vietnam, tranne quando si tratta di non andarci. È alto un metro e ottantotto, è biondo e gli hanno detto più volte che assomiglia a Gary Cooper da giovane. Ha persino una foto dell'attore, che guarda spesso. I ragazzi a casa di Bug Moran - un eccentrico milionario che raccatta nel suo lussuoso chalet sbandati di ogni genere - ci scherzano su. Gary Cooper è finito, dicono..

In Gary Goes to Hollywood, Gary McLintoch, Tank Commander, proud Scot, showbiz personality and now documentary film-maker, is off to Hollywood to meet the Scots who have left Scotland behind for the bright lights of Los Angeles. He's determined to find out why they have moved away from home and what they feel about the country they left behind. Gary meets a host of fellow Scots who have relocated to seek fame and fortune in LA. He explores the ups and downs of life in Tinseltown, what these people love about their new home, what they miss about Scotland and what sacrifices they have made to create a life in America.
