Ebony and Ivory founder and leader, Andrew Gilpin, began his performing career at age 15 in Edmonton Alberta, Canada. He has performed at venues across North America and on television and radio. His most recent recording, Multiplicity, includes jazz and classical works, vocals and instrumentals, and features his major work for soprano soloist, "Gloria."
