- Tell us a little about your background...
- Gary Yamane is a composer and performer living in Taos, New Mexico, whose interest in music spans all genres. Instruments include saxophone, flute, Native American flutes, keyboards, guitar, bass, percussion.
Originally from Oakland, California, Gary Yamane has been a student of the creative process for 46+ years, ever since he picked up the saxophone at age 8. He has studied music extensively with teachers such as Rudy Tapiro, Gary Gray, John Handy, and Joe Viola. He has attended the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), Berklee College of Music, Boston, and San Francisco State University where he graduated with a B.A. degree in Creative Arts. He has performed throughout the San Francisco Bay Area as well as the east coast and southwest. His music, though structured and deeply harmonic, is highly improvisational and spontaneous in nature. When describing his music, he said, "I am really a be-bopper with large ears". Not satisfied with the typical jazz genre, his music is as diverse as life itself and crosses many genres. "I take my inspiration from Nature and current social events", he said when asked what inspires his compositions. His compositions reflect his interest in and the influences of world music. "Access to the world has never been greater and I want to incorporate the sounds of the world into my music". Being curious about the nature of creativity has led him to study Zen, T'ai Chi, and hypnosis. "Music is a language of creativity and when we are in touch with our inner selves can we express the flow of our thoughts and feelings through music".
He has composed for multimedia projects by international high tech companies and local non-profit organizations. He has performed throughout the United States and has toured the Southwest playing Native American flutes for a theatre company. He currently teaches contemporary music at Moreno Valley Charter High School and performs locally.

The Jazz Network is exactly what the title suggests, a place where you get to mix and mingle with those who have not only an appreciation for Jazz but a forum to hear new up and coming artists as well. I've hooked up with so many of my old friends that I've lost contact with over the years here and it's been a great place to meet folk, appreciate good music and Musicianship. What an incredible idea!!

Duke Ellington: Highlights Of His Twilight
The great composer and bandleader was distraught over the 1967 death of Billy Strayhorn, his songwriting and arranging partner of 28 years. But Ellington took Strayhorn's passing as an impetus, born of necessity, to increase his own productivity. Here are five examples.Chris Potter Quartet On JazzSet
At the Village Vanguard, one flight down from the hubbub of New York City, in a tight space packed with people, we're about to embark on a musical odyssey by sea. Our captain is saxophonist Chris Potter, who's launching his Odyssey-inspired album The Sirens.Pat Metheny And John Zorn: A Vivid Sound World
The two artists are known opposites in the world of instrumental music. On Metheny's latest, the jazz guitarist wrings an unexpectedly visual listening experience from Zorn's knotty compositions.Sarah Vaughan: A New Box Set Revels In Glorious Imperfections
Divine: The Jazz Albums, 1954-1958 packs four CDs with Vaughan's music, recorded live or in the studio with bands big and small. Two live albums from Chicago nightclubs are standouts, partly when a performance threatens to slide off the rails.Rudresh Mahanthappa On Piano Jazz
