On the heels of a 38 year career in studio recording (as composer-arranger-producer-conductor-keyboardist) creating music for IMAX, CBC-TV, Solitudes and numerous educational music programs for kids, having had over 7000 of his arrangements recorded, and having been honoured with several JUNO nominations for his work, Howard (since 2010) has been playing JAZZ, LATIN, BLUEGRASS and FOLK …as an upright bassist and, more recently, as a micro bassist!
