More info, pictures and soundclips can be obtained at the personal website.Synonymous with jazz on the First Coast, Artist in Residence and professor of guitar at Jacksonville University, Gary Starling has inspired and broadened the horizons of hundreds of aspiring musicians and has played with performers such as Bob Hope, Diahann Carroll, Rita Moreno and Skitch Henderson. He has appeared with the Jacksonville Symphony Pops Orchestra and with jazz artists Eddie Harris, Nat Adderley, Joshua Breakstone, Carla White, Jim Snidero, and more. The group can be tailored to your event utilizing the area's best musicians. Guitar, upright bass and drums form the core trio with singer/jazz violinist Rebecca Zapen available for a unique and mesmerizing collaboration. Additionally, saxophone, trumpet, or keyboard may be added by request. Solo guitar or duo is available for more intimate settings. The group's musical style ranges from jazz and pop standards, swing, bossa nova and samba, to contemporary funky jazz. Some past engagements include: Hilton Head Jazz Society, Pleasure Island at Disney World, Gainesville Friends of Jazz and Blues, Jacksonville Jazz Festival, Miami Beach Convention Center, The Cloister Hotel At Sea Island, Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Amelia Island Plantation, World Golf Village, White Oak Plantation, Epping Forest Yacht Club, Greyfield Inn on Cumberland Island, University Club, River Club, Sawgrass Club, Ragtime Tavern, The Brick, Simon's Wine Bar, Vinoe, San Sebastian Winery, Cummer Ball, Jacksonville Landing, and many more. We do, occasionally travel for engagements, but mainly serve the Jacksonville and North Florida/South Georgia area. "Starling's sense of swing and impeccable taste make his live gigs something special." Tony Green, Jazziz magazine "You guys were great and really added to the event. We were very pleased". Keli Coughlin, Executive Director, Tom Coughlin Jay Fund "I can't thank you enough for the terrific work you did at the Jacksonville Jazz Festival. It was by far our greatest year and you guys did a great deal to make it work so well". Dan Kossoff, Executive Producer, Jacksonville Jazz Festival____________________ Personal note: because of the many variables to consider when quoting a price for an event, I like to talk with the client to get a better understanding of your needs and then organize my group accordingly. This way the band is tailored to your specific event. Because I must submit a quote in order to reply, I usually enter a "dummy bid" until details can be discussed and the best configuration determined (some variables include: the size and instrumentation of the band, location of event, number of hours for event, day of the week, time of day, request to learn special music, etc.). Please contact me to discuss the particulars of your situation. Contact info is on my website.....Gary Starling
