Yaron Gershovsky, The Manhattan Transfer / Solo Artist
Yaron Gershovsky is an internationally acclaimed pianist, keyboardist, arranger, composer, and producer. We attempt to cover Yaron’s amazing career, from his start in Israel and his initial gigs with jazz saxophonist Pharoah Sanders, through to his work with Wayne Shorter and his long-standing tenure as MD with The Manhattan Transfer. Add in some discussions about Broadway musicals, his recent album with Janis Siegel, The Count Basie Orchestra and a bunch of other collaborations and it’s a packed hour.
