Biography:
Since
basing himself in New York City in June of 2002, jazz organist,
pianist, and accordionist Gary Versace has quickly become one of the
busiest and most versatile musicians on the scene, often featured in
bands led by musicians such as John Scofield, John Abercrombie, Maria
Schneider, Matt Wilson, Lee Konitz, Eliot Zigmund, Scott Wendholt, Joe
Magnarelli, Danny Gottlieb, Seamus Blake, John Hollenbeck, Andy LaVerne,
Adam Nussbaum, Brad Shepik, Ingrid Jensen, Tim Ries and many others.
Versace
was voted a "rising star" on the Hammond organ in the last three
Downbeat critics polls, and was the subject of a feature article in the
July 2004 issue of Keyboard magazine.
Versace has been a featured
soloist on several critically acclaimed recordings of recent years:
accordionist on Maria Schneider's Grammy-winning recordings "Concert in
the Garden" and "Sky Blue" and as the pianist on John Hollenbeck's
Grammy-nominated large ensemble recording, "A Blessing."
Over the
past five years, Versace has appeared as a leader for the Criss Cross

artists on various labels including Palmetto, ACT, Omnitone, Songlines,
Pirouet, High Note, Justin Time, ArtistShare, Fresh Sound, Kind of Blue,
and many others.
As a pianist, Versace performed in a two-piano
recital with Marian McPartland, and in April of 1999 appeared on her
acclaimed National Public Radio program, "Piano Jazz." McPartland has
called him "...endlessly inventive...(Versace) really has an
extraordinary talent."
Gary Versace has a masters degree in music
performance from the Eastman School of Music, and spent eight years as a
