About Eric Gunnison
The Colorado Music Hall of Fame traces Gunnison’s composition degree at Berklee and his move to Denver in 1980. Its biography documents early club work at El Chapultepec, a period as Carmen McRae’s musical director, and a long career in Colorado ensembles and studios.[1]
Gunnison’s Denver projects include Convergence, his original-music group Wake Up Call, symphony appearances, and work with the Colorado Jazz Repertory Orchestra. Institutional biographies also document two decades teaching at the University of Denver’s Lamont School of Music and other Colorado programs.[1][2]
The Hall of Fame biography identifies Voyageur as a leader recording amid a much broader sideman catalog. Canonical artist and album pages on Spotify provide a direct listening path to Gunnison’s own releases without presenting his ensemble credits as solo albums.[1][3]
