Gary 2024

In a sideways step from the music he is most commonly associated with, award-winning and internationally acclaimed pianist, drummer and composer Gary Husband reveals the more contemplative and lyrical side of his far-reaching musical expression in his latest release Songs of Love & Solace. Here he explores in a solo piano setting the poignancy and beauty of a collection of love songs and themes that have powerfully resonated within his affection since childhood. Consisting predominantly of his own highly individual arrangements, the album presents Gary’s 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 - all delivered with great sensitivity, virtuosity and outstanding harmonic invention.

Gary Clark Jr.’s forthcoming album entitled JPEG RAW, his fourth studio release,marks a grand step in his musical evolution. A powerful and expansive artistic statement.While retaining the deep and true resonance of his blues foundations and guitar virtuosity with subtlety yet conviction, he reaches well beyond this time.The emphasis here is on song and studio craft without losing the rawness of his young legend. (Rolling Stone Magazine called him, The Chosen One).The music is dense and adventurous with a more cohesive synthesis of his eclectic musical palette. Hip samples, Thelonious Monk and Sonny Boy Williamson decorate flourishes of African, World Music, even Jazz while merging with blues , rock, R&B and rap; familiar areas he has ventured before, this time with more unity forging a fresh new style. Clark’s lyrics are pointed, deeply personal, outspoken and socially conscious with occasional forays into rap and spoken word from Clark himself.
