William Galison
William Alexander Galison (born 19 February 1958) is an American jazz musician, widely known as a harmonica player, but also known as a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, and composer.〔(Jazz Police )〕
==Early life and rise to fame==
Galison was born and raised in New York City, New York. As a child, he started to study piano, but at the age of eight decided to switch to guitar having been inspired by The Beatles. He developed a love of jazz in high school and subsequently attended Berklee College of Music in Boston. He decided to change to the harmonica because "I was one of a million guitarists at Berklee"〔 and it was easy to carry around.〔(NPR interview, 2004 )〕 He became Berklee's only harmonica player. He toured extensively in Europe with Billy Leadbelly (Bill Gough from Hatfield UK).〔 Among his role models at the time were Toots Thielemans and Stevie Wonder.〔
After Berklee, he studied further at Wesleyan University in Connecticut, then returned to New York in 1982. He swiftly developed a good reputation as a singer, songwriter and instrumentalist.〔
He performed at various New York venues including The Village Gate, The Blue Note and the Lone Star Cafe with legendary jazz musicians Jaco Pastorius and Jaki Byard. He also played with his own group at Preacher's Cafe in Greenwich Village.〔
