The Jerry Mack Band

About The Jerry Mack Band

Some of the music I posted here achieves "elevated cornball status" but hey...that's my only disclaimer. The music you hear is authentic and original.

Hi my name is Jerry Mack. This is a good site for organizing these various projects. Better than any system on my computer anyway. Glad you found my music! Thanks for hearing. Thanks for listening.

I'm a BMI composer born and raised in NYC. I had no patience to sit around slicing sound to fit into commercial jingle spots so I went off those rails pretty quickly. But I'm still a "BMI Composer".

My instruments are Piano, Organ and Electric Bass. The materiel I have posted here has roots in Soul, Latin, Rock and Broadway during the 1950's, 60's and 70's.

My major influences include, but are not limited to:

Ahmad Jamal; Leon Russell; The Band; Kerry Minnear; Thijs van Leer; Herbie Hancock; Don Grolnick; Elton John; Billy Joel; Tito Puente; Bobby Rodriguez (Tito's secret weapon); Chick Corea; Level 42; Bob Mintzer, Clare Fischer; Carol King; Joni Mitchell; Charlie Palmieri; Eddie Palmieri; Miles Davis; Ian Anderson; Keith Emerson; Oscar Peterson; Jimmy Haslip; Jimmy Smith; Jimmy McGriff; Ray Shulman; Chucho Valdés; Antonio Carlos Jobim; Don Van Vliet; James Brown; Frank Zappa; Jim Pugh; Donald Fagen; Joe Zawinul; The Association; Burt Bachrach; Thelonius Monk; Henry Mancini; Billy Preston; Nelson Riddle; Chicago; Blood Sweat & Tears Gary Smulyan and lots more I will add as they come to mind.
