Early in his career, he participated in a jazz festival in Russia where he earned an excellence prize for best original jazz compositions. Since moving to Israel in 1990, he has built an expansive catalog spanning jazz, multi-genre instrumental music, songwriting, poetry, and independent production. In this interview, we discuss jazz composition, world music influences, African-inspired rhythms, independent artistry, fusion music, piano performance, creative evolution, songwriting, arranging, and the inspiration behind African and Other Jazz Passions . We cover the whole story. Enjoy this insightful and inspiring conversation with Gregory Golub. More Gregory Golub: For More Neon Jazz: Shows via MixCloud:
