Gary Lamb was
born and raised along the Central California Coast, he is a pianist/composer
who always had a deep appreciation and love of nature. Especially
the mountains and coastal regions of Carmel, Big Sur, and the Monterey
Bay where he spent many days of his youth. From an early age, Gary
was called a musical prodigy, being able to play any instrument
that he wanted to try. By the time he was 12, Gary was conducting
a 100 piece orchestra at his school in Pacific Grove, California.
His love of surfing and the ocean deepened in his teenage years
and he went on to teach himself piano and drums. His attraction
to the piano first became evident to his mother when Gary was only
4 years old. He called her into his aunt's parlor to show her an
original piece of music. To this day, those that knew Gary as a
young boy still marvel at his outstanding and natural musical talents.
Gary Lamb's
composing, recording, and performing excellence became immediately
evident with the release of his still top-selling debut, "A
Walk In The Garden" (1987). This impressionistic solo piano
offering was a break-out recording and gave the New Age genre a
classical twist. Gary's gift for melody has remained a premiere
trait on all of his 12 CDs of original compositions.
Following this
debut came the classic "Watching
The Night Fall" (1989). This CD with its wonderful melodies
and subtle, thoughtful orchestrations garnered national acclaim
for the pianist and his next recording, "Distant Fields"
(1990) achieved Top 10 status on Billboard Magazine's instrumental
music charts. By now his music was being aired on national television
and radio and was beginning to find its way into the hearts of listeners
of all ages. Medical and educational professionals soon discovered
the wonderful attributes of Gary's music and the benefit it could
have by being played within their respective working environments.
"Distant
Fields" was followed by another Top 10 CD, "Love Themes"
(1991). The original melodies on this recording have become classics
for many fans and the music has been played at many a wedding ceremony.
Love seems to the motivating force behind this great composer's
works. "Winter
Dreams" and the energetic "Imaginations" also
highlighted the prolific years of 1991 and 1992 as the elegant style
of Gary Lamb's music began to find an international audience.
"Twelve
Promises" (1993) features 12 compositions and 12 musicians
accompanying Gary on more unique musical statements. And this CD
led the way for the classic original piano/violin duet album of
1994 "Angel". 1995 brought the return of Gary's solo piano
style with the beautiful and sophisticated "Language
Of Love" CD. "When East Meets West" (1997) is
an eclectic blend of exotic instrumentation that features top musicians
from the contemporary instrumental music community.
"Return
To Eden" (1999) is Gary's exploration into the subtle nuances,
character and tonalities of the acoustic grand piano. Surely the
grand piano is Gary Lamb's favorite of all instruments and he uses
it as a master artist would paint on a canvas. Gary's timeless musical
statements continue to bring joy to people of all ages and nationalities.
"By
The Light Of The Moon" (2001) is a splendid collection
of unique piano melodies orchestrated with cello, french horn, violins
and flute.
