Gary Tu

I was born on October 17, 1976 in Taipei, Taiwan.

I started playing guitar at the age of 13. I begged and pleaded with my parents to buy me an electric guitar. It was a Cort with a crackled finish. By age 15, I was giving lessons to the kids in the neighborhood. my favorite band at the time was Motley Crue.

Around age 16 I heard my first jazz album. I think it was Miles' first Quintet. A bass player friend of mine also introduced me to an album with Jaco Pastorius on it called Bright Size Life. I heard Pat Metheny for the first time.

I began checking out every jazz CD and vinyl I could get my hands on at the library and dubbing them onto cassettes at home. Some of these included: Miles, C [more...]

Gèzz

In January 2002 a new group appeared on stage in Paradox Tilburg, The Netherlands. Three outstanding Dutch musicians played a new kind of jazz modifying old and new poptunes into an almost surreal musical landscape.

In the following months time and again people came up to those three musicians: pianist Harmen Fraanje, Bassist Eric van der Westen and Drummer Hans van Oosterhout to tell them they witnessed the concert of the year!

The group had been working steadily to create a signif [more...]

Gravitones

De Gravitones houden van losse schema's, heldere melodieën, noodzakelijke ritmes en terloopse harmonieën. Creatieve vrijheid in dienst van uiteenlopende muzikale wetten vormt het artistieke uitgangspunt waarvoor de Gravitones een vorm proberen te vinden. Het repertoire van het kwintet concentreert zich niet alleen op (eigen) geschreven stukken (voornamelijk van de hand van leider/klarinettist Augusto Forti), schema's en modellen, maar ook op het vrij improviseren. Dat laatste wordt door de groepsleden als wezenlijk beschouwd vanwege het vruchtbare experimentele karakter. De onvoorspelbaarheid laat zich vergelijken met een gummetje dat van tafel rolt en een onnavolgbaar parcours aflegt voor [more...]
