Season Finale: All Things Bowie Mike Garson Legendary pianist
He never micro-managed. He just let me be me
Back in April, David Bowie’s pianist and collaborator, Mike Garson gave us too much material for one episode (yes, a first world problem!), so we decided a bonus episode dedicated to his Bowie anecdotes was the only way to go.
You’re about to hear stories about a friendship that only those who were in the room at the time can share. Yes, Bowie was a game-changer for us artists and music lovers. He was also an innovator, speaking to bigger questions around creativity. This episode is a huge gift from Mike, and is dedicated to our creative community.
