In Songs of Love & Solace Gary presents a solo piano album of deeply thoughtful interpretations of an eclectic selection of tunes ranging from familiar jazz standards and popular hits, to a Brazilian classic and a Husband original, extending further still the breadth of his musical output - all delivered with great sensitivity, virtuosity and outstanding harmonic invention. 

“I was keen to do a project turning my musical hand to some timeless old material and conveying some of it in my kind of way. Since I took some heavy personal loss in recent years, I really felt in a place where I needed to make an album of this kind. It’s one I experienced tremendous cathartic value making. In a big way, it’s my “blue” album."

"Brother Gary, I just listened to your “If I Should Lose You” which is quite marvellous. You are taking contemporary romanticism into another realm of harmonic extension without losing the essential romanticism that can never be replaced by abstractionism. Bravo!”
