Gary Husband redesign on Chick Corea's 'Return to Forever' song - "500 Miles High"

[@sergiodevega8410]

Chick would be proud for sure, thanks a lot Gary!

[@GaryHusbandKeyboardsandDrums]

Thanks for listening and commenting Sergio! Much appreciated :-)

Gary Husband is the most musical person I have every witnessed! Acoustic guitar today, tomorrow Gary will be playing the green plant near the speaker, and it will be the coolest multi track recording ever! Everyone in my office loves my Gary Husband mornings! Thank you for being alive while I am! Been a huge fan since the 80's Peace from Detroit MI. How are you such a monster player equally on numerous instruments?

[@GaryHusbandKeyboardsandDrums]

That all means a great deal to me! Thank you greatly 🙂🙏

Gary you are Sublime, been a fan of yours since that first IOU LP. Your a true Musician. Met you years ago in ATL Ga with Allan. I was blessed to have dinner several years earlier with the 92 Band after their show. With Chad and Skuli and Steve thanks to an introduction through fellow Bassist Jerry Peek. I was floored by Allan's humor and how kind he was to me. We chatted for several hours. I was in Heaven. I told him " Your my favorite Musician Period" When the bill for drinks and dinner came Allan said your money's worthless tonight, l protested pointing out what a gift l had already received just getting to have dinner with Him and the Band. He said " If you won't let me buy your meal I'll be offended'". How could I augue with that. I still drift off into a Dream state when I think about the almost 3 hours I got to hang with the best Musician of the 20th and 21 century. I was the last one out the door of the Restaurant and someone was holding the door open. It was Allan! I know you have many Treasured memories being Allan's favorite drummer and dear friend. Your 1 of a handful of the best Musicians left on the planet. Thank you Gary for sharing your amazing gift. Your friend in Music.

Chick gave Gary very very complements a great interview by Gary with Chick >>> Music always lives on it never ever dies >>>

[@monsterjazzlicks]

Wow, GH on guitar! Something of a skill I never knew that he possessed!

[@allthegigswewant]

Amazingly beautiful and most creative and original arrangement of 500 Miles High I've ever heard. Fantastic tribute to Chick!! He'd love it. Got to hear you talk to Chick as a guest on his Academy - maybe a year ago. I could tell he really admired you! What a compliment from a master! I was in Chick's studio a number of times over the years - what a gift to be able to interact with him - he made himself very accessible to all who wanted to learn from him. That's rare. Though I'm a guitarist he'd been influencing me since my teens with his incredible recordings starting with Tones for Joan's Bones. You know in the first pilot of his online Academy I got to help get it tested - so I asked him who was his influence - I'd always heard it was Bud Powell. He loved the question. The answer was surprising to me - probably others - maybe you knew. Horace Silver. Said Bud was too difficult. I also got to play a Bird tune for him he wasn't familiar with - actually my fav composition by Parker - unfortunately - I played it badly. But Chick was fine with it. Thanks for creating this!! Beautiful!

So many little nuances of musical greatness building on top of one another here.

[@GaryHusbandKeyboardsandDrums]

I appreciate that Lou! Thank you so much for those kind words 🙂🙏

[@pkinthehouze]

Who would have imagined Gary Husband, playing guitar to a drum machine?! And STILL my favorite drummer. And appreciate you not wearing only tiny, nylon jogging shorts, like you've been known to in the past.

[@GaryHusbandKeyboardsandDrums]

Ha! Thanks greatly! Yes, that stuff is all a very long time ago now ... much to my partner’s relief! She is very happy about that! 😃🙏

[@markomarkovic5729]

Thank you for the music Mr. Husband and greetings from Belgrade, Serbia

[@stevebradshaw797]

This is great! Shows Mr. Husband's wide musicianship!

[@martinsmith3187]

Beautifully reimagined and played version. It's a lovely tribute to Chick but at the same time it's100% Gary.

[@joewaye7945]

Totally awesome arrangement by a true genius who never ceases to amaze!

[@GaryHusbandKeyboardsandDrums]

Thanks so much Joe! 🙂

[@fabriziovincitorio9377]

Dear Mr. Husband, you're a real musical hero for me. I discovered you listening to one of my favourite artist, the great Allan Holdsworth, but in the years I have understood your greatness. I can't believe how you reached the highest quality in so many different instruments, in composition, arrangement and all the other musical stuff. I'm stunned everytime I listen to you. There is only a word for your "out of the world" level: genius!!!

[@giovannicastellazzi4951]

Tks Gary nice work! Stay safe,cheers Giovanni

[@JosephPerkinsMusic]

What a fantastic performance - unbelievable!

[@agus6115]

Inspiring interpretation. Thank you for sharing Gary. 🙏

[@orbital14]

Gary Husband has to be one of the most inspiring musicians alive, I love his "total approach" making each instrument his own, so musical, so passionate

[@vidsforsquids]

Amazing work ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@egyptianminor]

Great arrangement, awesome mantra groove w/ the acoustic guitar, love that middle section starting @ 4:18 - out and about in orbit, so many beautiful colours and then back to funky, swinging recap....A beautiful tribute.

[@eyelidman09]

This is rather sublime, Mr Husband. I love all the looping and the groove. It really does work. Thank you.🙏☀️🇬🇧👍

[@davidfsnyder]

Nice journey 500 miles high! Thank you!

[@RahulRoyAhimsa]

Yes

[@kevinhartmanmusic7179]

Thanks Gary, I really needed to hear this today. And in the short time that I've come across the varied and excellent work you and your friends have done over the years, my own musical journey has become enriched and much more interesting. I'm no longer hesitant to 'go out there' and just play from the heart. Many blessings to you!

[@SvetlanRaketSpringfeldt]

Beautiful arrangement and playing. Love this version. Well done! 🙂

Wow! I love this version of the tune. So cool where you went with it! What a vibe!

[@starlightsign8666]

Having now seen some of the video clips from your youth…I’m able finally to understand and accept how you play many instruments so amazingly….it’s taken me many years. I first saw you jamming down the old 606 back in the day! Extremely cool you were too! Nice suit…! Thanks for everything you do Gary.

[@GaryHusbandKeyboardsandDrums]

Huge thanks for your warm words! Appreciate it 🙂

[@saxtant]

I'll be honest, that turned into something else along the way, but was a special journey. Your music isn't perfect, but it's always fresh... I love that!

[@GaryHusbandKeyboardsandDrums]

Was meant to be something else Corley. And thank god, no music is perfect! I appreciate you listening and glad you enjoyed the little journey though, thanks 🙂🙏

[@ChrisCraker]

Gary..."perfection" has no relevance. You took me on THE best journey with this amaazong performance and I loved every moment, every nuance, every twist and turn. You're just getting more intriguing day by day. Thanks for making and sharing this. How amazing that we can experience this from you, gratis. Genuinely... thank you 🙏

[@saxtant]

@@ChrisCraker Perfection is the benchmark, the eternal checkpoint we all strive to grasp as musicians, to understand what it means to compare oneself to it in order to move toward it knowing full well it is unattainable. Gary is one of the few that would find it difficult to rest with simple repetition of memory, his musicality comes from his ability to challenge recital with improvisation no matter the audience. This is what I respect most about him. Sorry for any misunderstanding of what my intentions were. To remain fresh every time you play is a risky proposal, many will misinterpret it as an inability to recall, when really it's an acknowledgement of mortality and the need to keep moving forward.

[@mimmobaia9367]

A talented musician!
