Mike Garson

Mike Garson was classically trained on the piano and contributed greatly to jazz and rock as well as his own “now music” style. Mike’s passion for music is evident in everything he plays and his love with teaching and preserving his musical heritage is evident in nearly everything he says. For Mike, it is more than playing music, it is a matter of living in the music and making every effort to express what is happening in that very moment. His fascinating interview for the NAMM Oral History program included a look at his views about now music as well as his career that ranged from recordings with David Bowie to Nine Inch Nails.
