In 1974 he got a call to play French horn with legendary jazz arranger Gil Evans\, and Gil made him a regular. As an experiment\, Pete brought a Moog synthesizer to an Evans gig. Gil loved it and Pete’s role was permanently changed\, beginning the transformation of the band into the electronic/acoustic hybrid sound that won 2 Grammy awards. Among the first to explore synthesizers during the 70s\, Pete became a sought-after sideman for studio and live gigs. As an arranger and musician he worked on dozens of film scores\, hundreds of jazz and pop records\, and countless TV and radio commercials. Over the years\, interspersed with Gil Evans\, Paul Simon\, Annie Lennox and Jimmy Giuffre tours\, Pete has done arranging and electronic music for feature films including MISSING IN ACTION\, THE COLOR OF MONEY and STAR TREK. He composed the orchestral score for the independent film ZELIMO\, composed an original music score for a stage production of THE DYBBUK\, did the official band/chorus arrangement of the U.S. Infantry song and composed the anthem for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit\, performing it in the U.N. General Assembly. But his favorite collaboration was “THE CLAMS” with his brother\, bassist Tony Levin and drummer Steve Gadd\, a Spike Jones tribute band that produced the top-40 hit single “CLOSE TO YOU” that’s now a cult classic. \nBetween 1964 and 2017\, Pete has recorded and/or performed live with artists and ensembles including … \nMichael Allman\, Aztec Two Step\, Joe Beck\, Jeff Berlin\, Marc Black\, Terrance Blanchard\, Carla Bley\, Blood Sweat & Tears\, Broadside Brass Bed Band\, Brubeck Brothers Quartet\, Hiram Bullock\, Butterfield Blues Band\, Donald Byrd\, Don Byron\, Jay Chattaway\, Tommy Chong\, The Clams\, John Clark\, Jimmy Cobb\, Judy Collins\, Commander Cody\, Gene Cornish\, Albert Cummings\, David Darling\, Kal David\, Bettye Davis\, Miles Davis\, Robbie Dupree\, Don Elliott\, Gil Evans\, Fania All-Stars\, Rachelle Farelle\, Bryan Ferry\, Letizia Gambi\, Jimmy Giuffre\, Leila Gobi\, Government Mule\, Gregory Hines\, Freddie Hubbard\, Kathy Ingraham\, Howard Johnson\, Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Band\, Mamadou Kelly\, Annie Lennox\, Tony Levin\, Levin Brothers\, Rod MacDonald\, Al MacDowell\, Mike Mainieri\, Melissa Manchester\, Chuck Mangione\, Liza Minnelli\, Charles Mingus\, Gerry Mulligan\, Ola Onabule\, Rob Paparozzi\, Jaco Pastorius\, Simon Phillips\, Lorenza Ponce\, Genya Ravan\, Nicki Richards\, Robbie Robertson\, Teri Roiger\, Ali Ryerson\, David Sanborn\, John Scofield\, Wayne Shorter\, Carly Simon\, Paul Simon\, Lew Soloff\, Vaneese Thomas\, John Tropea\, Joe Lynn Turner\, Michal Urbaniak\, Jimmy Vivino\, Joe Louis Walker\, Jim Weider\, Peter Welker\, Lenny White & Vanessa Williams. \n______________________________ \nMike DeMicco’s expansive embrace of music has led him to work with prominent artists in many genres.

SUMMARY:Dziuba/Harrison Guitar Summit
DESCRIPTION:Mark Dziuba – guitar \nJoel Harrison – guitar \nRich Syracuse – bass \nJeff Siegel – drums \nThe Magnatone Brothers is a two guitar ensemble led by Joel Harrison and Mark Dziuba. The two like -minded guitarists bonded over the fact that they both own rare and eccentric 1950s guitars made by the Magnatone company. They resolved to do a show where both guitars would speak to each other. Both Joel and Mark are improvisors with an open minded aesthetic which includes all kinds of American Music. Both are composers so expect a mix of originals\, jazz tunes\, groove- based material\, and in general a lot of fine interplay and good fun. The two are joined by illustrious colleagues— Rich Syracuse on bass and Jeff Siegel on drums. \nGuitarist\, composer\, arranger\, lyricist\, writer\, educator\, and vocalist Joel Harrison has “created a new blueprint for jazz” (New Orleans Times-Picayune). A Guggenheim Fellow (2010) whose compositions have been commissioned by Chamber Music America\, Meet the Composer\, New Music USA\, the Jerome Foundation\, NYSCA\, and the Mary Flagler Cary Trust.\, he has released 25 CDs as a leader on seven different labels. Harrison’s music may be founded on jazz but veers into classical\, rock\, country\, and all manner of American roots music. Succinctly described by the New York Times as “protean… brilliant.” \nHarrison is the founder and director of the Alternative Guitar Summit\, a yearly festival devoted to new and unusual guitar music. Pat Metheny has called the Summit “one of the most interesting and distinguished forums for guitar on the planet. Harrison is the author of “Guitar Talk: conversations with visionary players” as well as “Modern Jazz Standards for Guitar.”
