Gary began his career in his native New York, moving to California in 1982, and Arizona in 2009. Gary’s musical influences are incredibly diverse, and his ability transcends style or genre, making him as comfortable with straight-ahead jazz as he is with world beat, hip-hop, blues, swing, rock and funk.

As a leader of original bands for 20 years, Gary was a pioneer of the world-beat movement starting in the late '70s, and he continues to incorporate world rhythms and influences in his current compositions.

Gary plays a bunch of instruments, including tenor, C melody, alto and soprano saxes, wind synthesizer, guitar, percussion and ethnic flutes, and he even sings. He's toured extensively in the US, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Greenland, the Republic of Palau, and his second home, Australia.
