George Tassara is a somewhat reclusive sometimes trumpet playing keyboardist/composer maker of visual art living in Albuquerque, NM (how a humble Massachusetts boy ended up in the wild west is a long and sordid story too long to go into here). He graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston with a degree in composition and has also done some graduate level work in education at City College of New York. He records his eclectic world beatish new age-like techno-jazz in his home studio that he strangely calls "Wishful Palms Sound Laboratory".
