Conversations With My Family

Released March 9, 2008

Based on Garson’s longtime practice of creating music inspired by members of his family, Conversations is both adventurous and accessible, animated by extended sections of improvisation involving Garson, bassist Bob Magnusson and drummer Gary Novak, enhanced by guest appearances from flutist Lori Bell, violinist Chris Howes, guitarist Andreas Öberg, and trumpeter Claudio Roditi, and adorned with arrangements by Kuno Schmid.
