For Jerry, music came as naturally as walking. He started piano lessons
at age seven; by age ten, and still barely able to reach the pedals,
Jerry was designated pianist in a tiny Minnesota church. Directing its
orchestra (of three players), it was a quantum leap, a few years later,
to recording with the London Orchestra. Though composer of several dozen
songs and musicals, he considers himself more of an “Arranger” with
some 6,000 arrangements spanning a fulfilling career.
Having built Eagles Nest Studio, his two decades of recording in that
inspirational Rocky Mountain setting was an incredible stroke of
providence. It’s what not only equipped him to play in such a myriad of
styles, but also gave him the tools to produce his own orchestra tracks –
heard on every CD and in every concert. In fact, many of those sound
tracks are now available on his Website along with his piano
arrangements which are available to the public for the first time.
