"The depth of his creativity and the breadth of his musical interests make
Jarrett unique among musicians of his age."

"Gilgore’s technical proficiency and expressive range will amaze you."
~Matt Feldman "Uwishunu.com"
"You go boy!"

he’s “finding a sound,” but just one listen to his experimental jazz pieces

well-rounded ear for arrangements

on the saxophone, but his proficiency with other instruments gives him a
well-rounded ear for arrangements. As for that sound, it ranges from
rollicking bop to manic freeform, and shifts character from measure to
measure."
