Linda K. F.
August 24, 2024Gary played for a retirement party at the Carolina Club on the campus of UNC Chapel Hill a couple days ago. He is an excellent, tasteful musician, showed up well ahead of time to set up his keyboard, and accommodated requests for the event. I highly recommend him!

Gary Brunotte is an accomplished pianist, vocalist, accordionist and organist specializing in the many varieties of jazz. He attended Berklee College of Music in Boston and taught at the prestigious school for several years after which time he moved to Manhattan. During that time, he won a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to write a suite for a big band and his band performed weekly in a midtown Manhattan club.
After living and working in New York, Brunotte moved back to Minnesota where he recorded his first CD, Yesterdays Dream featuring Gary with altoist Eric Marienthal in a quintet setting. The CD received excellent reviews in both JazzTimes and Billboard. In addition, it received airplay throughout the United States, Europe and Japan.
In 1997 he relocated to North Carolina where he worked as an in demand performer. He also received a Masters in Music from NC Central University. Additionally, he built his own recording studio and recorded four more CDs: Conversations, Smile, Manic Moments and Its About Time. As a performer, he plays local clubs, but he has also performed with such noteables as Lionel Hampton, Mark Whitfield, Larry Coryell, Byron Stripling and Bobby Shew.
He has recently relocated to Portland Maine.
