4-2-22 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center

Greetings!

Welcome to the latest installment of Pushing The Envelope.  A sizeable chunk of this week's program focuses on the work of Mike Garson, both as composer and pianist/keyboard player whose is particularly noted for his years playing live and in studio with David Bowie. 

For further insight into Mr. Garson's work, check out Clifford Slapper's book, "Bowie's Piano Man: The Life of Mike Garson" and for his own insight into his work with Bowie, the fascinating 2017 documentary, "David Bowie: The Last Five Years".

Enjoy!!
