For three decades, Grammy-nominated pianist/composer/arranger David Benoit has reigned supreme as one of the founding fathers of contemporary jazz. His 35 solo recordings have led to three Grammy Award nominations and a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2010 American Smooth Jazz Awards. His latest release, “2 In Love” finds him collaborating with acclaimed vocalist Jane Monheit.
Championed by some of music’s most celebrated figures, Sara Gazarek has emerged as a strikingly original artist. With three highly acclaimed CD’s under her belt at the age of 30, Sara and her trio continue to seamlessly combine the intimacy of singer/songwriter stylings with the musical and improvisational elements of jazz. Her brand new (August 5) release “Dream in the Blue,” is a spectacular collaboration with her longtime musical partner Josh Nelson.
Now in its sixth season on TV, Breakfast with Gary & Kelly have hosted Al Jarreau, Melissa Manchester, Dave Koz, Mindi Abair, Jonathan Butler, Ray Parker Jr., Debbie Reynolds, Linda Evans, David Benoit, Peter White, Diane Schuur, Keiko Matsui, Rick Braun, Paul Brown, Bill Cantos, Brian Culbertson, Nick Colionne, Spencer Day, and more.
