Most noted for his work with David Bowie as well as some of the most prolific bands of the alternative rock genre, including Nine Inch Nails and The Smashing Pumpkins, Garson has worked to make the world a more creative, compassionate and compelling place. Garson’s solo career has brought him into the realm of classical music and jazz genres. Mike recorded a great version of Rhapsody in Blue, which is how he came to my attention.
