Composer-pianist
Kirk Nurock is refreshingly hard to pin down. He arranged for both Dizzy Gillespie
and Leonard Bernstein, composed a work for 20 voices and 3 canines (which
he conducted at Carnegie Hall) and won a scholarship at age 16, awarded by
Duke Ellington.
Now a veteran of 30 years in the music world, Nurock continues his highly
unpredictable adventures.
"To Kirk--Wow, you gas me!!"
- Dizzy Gillespie
