In Graham Bruce's musical career, there is a true kinship with the spirit of Henry Miller, a constant seeker of the magic of the moment, a trooper in the quest for creation. Unknowingly, Graham followed the early Duke Ellington in the use of his graphic arts abilities to promote his musical endeavors. Although his very earliest musical attempts were focused on rhythm, his harmonic and melodic sensibilities were encouraged when he inherited his maternal grandfather`s trumpet. Always a listener, he tried to absorb every tune he heard and transcribed solos that seemed to tell a story or paint a picture.
