Gary is joined by 3 Time Tony Award Nominee,  6 Time Drama Desk Award Nominee LARRY BLANK.

Brooklyn-born Larry has more than half a century of Broadway and West End Experience as a composer, arranger, orchestrator and conductor, working with some of the finest recording artists in the world, legendary musical theatre composers, and outstanding performers of the 20th and 21st Century.  He has arranged and orchestrated on Catch Me if You Can, Martin Short: Fame Becomes Me, The Producers, Drowsy Chaperone, Fiddler on the Roof, Guys and Dolls, The Sound of Music, as well as working annually on The Olivier Awards in London.

We talk about his musical upbringings and starting out in high school as an actor, his transfer to the creative side of the table, his approach to arranging, the influence of Irwin Kostal and Don Pippin, as well as working with Mel Brooks, Jerry Herman, Marc Shaiman, Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, Kander and Ebb, Jason Robert Brown,  Randy Newman, John Barrowman, Barry Manilow, Pasek and Paul, as well as his time as a flying instructor, and how his time away changed his approach to conducting and playing with passion, and also his love for the BBC and their approach to music.

Recorded in November 2020.
