About John-Paul Gard
Jazz organist John-Paul first fell in love with the sound of the Hammond organ at the age of ten. Encouraged by his father, a keen organist and music enthusiast, he went on to take a job in his local organ shop, where he met some of the finest players and demonstrators in the business and played many concerts. Today, his style is heavily influenced by Jimmy Smith, Jimmy McGriff and Joey DeFrancesco, with shades of Errol Garner, Oscar Peterson, Harry Stoneham, Curt Prina, Max Takano, George Flurey, Tony Pegler Keith Evans and Alan Haven.

John-Paul loves to improvise and to work with other like-minded musicians. As well as recording many albums under his own name, he has played on more than 40 albums by other well-known figures on the jazz scene. A recent success has been his collaboration with The Jon Dalton Organ Trio based in Venice Beach USA, whose album Warm Ghosts in a Cold World is currently climbing the Jazz charts in the USA.
