Misc ="Conversations with My Family" is the eleventh solo album by notable
jazz pianist Mike Garson, and was released in 2008 on Resonance Records. "Conversations with my family" is the first solo album released commercially by Mike garson in over 15 years, after having spent the previous decade working with artists such as David Bowie, playing on ground breaking albums 'Outside' and 'Earthling' and working with artists such as Nine Inch Nails and Smashing Pumpkins.Based on Garson's longtime practice of creating music inspired by members of his family, Conversations is both adventurous and accessible, animated by extended sections of improvisation involving Garson, bassist Bob Magnusson and drummer Gary Novak, enhanced by guest appearances from Resonance artists that include flutist Lori Bell, violinist Chris Howes, guitarist Andreas Oberg, and trumpeter Claudio Roditi, and adorned with arrangements by Kuno Schmid.
