Influences: Everyone...Isn't that the most honest answer we can ever give to such a question.It sounds trite...I know full well what I am saying does sound a bit simple-minded, but whether we like it or not...everyone and everything influences us subliminally.I can feel Albeniz, Alkan, Adam, Adams, Beethoven, Bach, The Beatles, Bartok, Bernstein, The Cure, Casals, Chaminade, Chaplin, Cab Calloway, Delius, Dietrich, Dolby, The Doors, Davis, Enesco, Elgar, Eubie Blake, Falla, Foss, Field, Feldman, Gershwin, Gabrieli, Gibbons, Gluck, Goldmark, Grieg, Handel, Haydn, Hanson, Hindemith, Honneger, Hummel, Holst, Ibert, Ives, Janacek, Joplin, Kuhlau, Korngold, Kabalevsky, Khatchaturian, Lalo, Ligeti, Lees, Liszt, Liadov, Lully, Lutoslawski, Mahler, Mendelssohn, Mascagni, Martinu, Monteverdi, Milhaud, Mussorgsky, Mozart...and on and on...and on down the alphabet...in my head, my music, my soul, my heart.Whether the proof is obvious, is not always evident. An accounting of choices, and gravitations, reveals which directions we did not take as well as which we did.But if you are still looking for a list of my influences, pick up a copy of Grove's Dictionary of Music, The Jazz Encyclopedia, The Encyclopedia of Rock'n'Roll, The History of Cuban Music, etc.
