Synopsis

Mike Garson is an incredibly accomplished pianist and composer who is known for his work with David Bowie,  Nine Inch Nails, Free Flight, Billy Corgan and The Smashing Pumpkins, as well as an impressive solo career in both the jazz and classical realms. He recently premiered a twelve movement work entitled Symphonic Suite for Healing where he partnered with brain surgeon Dr. Christopher Duma and collaborated with patients to use music as an aid in the healing of various disorders, including Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. Mike is a lifelong learner who has studied with Leonard Eisner of Juilliard, Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock,  Lennie Tristano and more. He is also someone who shares his knowledge of music through teaching master classes and private instruction, as well as through guest lectures on university campuses worldwide. I had the opportunity to sit down with Mike at his home studio in Los Angeles and talk about his path as a musician and as a human being.I am really excited to have  Mike on the Podcast for
