We are absolutely thrilled that the legendary pianist Mike Garson will be joining us for this very special event as he recounts his time with Bowie while performing live excerpts to illuminate the very special musical bond that he and David had over their long association with each other. American avant garde jazz pianist Garson was David Bowie's longest-serving and most frequently appearing band member. They performed together for both Bowie's first and last concerts in the United States as well as 1,000 concerts around the globe in between. Garson joined the Ziggy Stardust tour of 1972–73 and played on many albums and tours over the years with his amazing atonal solo on 1973's title album track ‘Aladdin Sane' arguably his most famous and iconic contribution to the Bowie canon. Garson has also recorded & toured with Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, Duran Duran and St Vincent amongst others. We are graced to have a genuine musical legend with us for this Festival treat.
