“A musician whom I have known and admired for many years, not only for his wizardry at the piano, but also for his artistry at the drums! Gary is no ordinary musician: full of invention and surprises, modulations and inversions of melodic, harmonic and rhythmic content abound. Immense musical talent.”
JOHN McLAUGHLIN

“Gary is one of my all time favourite drummers. You don’t need to tell him a lot, he just knows what to do. And that’s my kind of drummer, you know?
JACK BRUCE

“Gary's pretty much of an improvisational genius to me. As far as I'm concerned, Gary's one of the greats. He is one of the most talented and original musicians I have ever had the pleasure of making music with.”
ALLAN HOLDSWORTH

“Gary is such a great drummer, and an equally great pianist!”
DAVE WECKL

You don't have to watch Gary Husband at work for long to realise that he's the kind of artist who pours every personal resource he can tap into his intense and passionate music... Husband is now widely credited for the brilliant pianist he is. Remarkable virtuosity allied with sensitivity.
JOHN FORDHAM, THE GUARDIAN
