George Husaruk

Before you read my bio I would like to share a few thoughts about the way I feel about music, and specifically about my jazz cd. I think that music is about reinventing yourself over and over again. When I play a song that someone else, or I wrote, I like to play it in my style, recreating that song; playing it in a way that has never been done before. Creating music - the essence of jazz - is a powerful reflexion of the spiritual nature of mankind.
