For Immediate Release - Contemporary jazz keyboardist and producer David Garfield is renowned as an in-demand touring and session musician, working over 30 years as George Benson’s musical director.
For Garfield, the joy of music-making begins and ends with the opportunity to play with some of the finest musicians in the business. That’s what his Outside the Box series is all about. For each project, Garfield collaborates with the world's top vocalists and musicians. Together they create a mix of originals and fresh takes on classic songs that range from contemporary to straight-ahead jazz.
"Tune for Tony" is Garfield's original composition written in honor of the late, great Tony Williams. The track will appear on his September 27 release, Stretchin’ Outside The Box, the sixth and final installment in his Outside The Box series.
DownBeat recently premiered "Tune for Tony" stating: “Back in 2003, keyboardist David Garfield released an album called Giving Back, included in the set was his composition ‘Tune For Tony,’ in honor of legendary drummer Tony Williams. It featured an all-star cast — Michael and Randy Brecker, Will Lee, Jimmy Johnson, Vinnie Colaiuta, Gregg Bissonette, Steve Lukather and Garfield. Garfield — an accomplished producer as well as former sideman with Freddie Hubbard, George Benson and Willie Bobo — has remixed and remastered the track releasing it as a single for his Outside The Box Series.”
