About Gary Kerkezou
Kerkezou’s official biography traces her move from Greece to study at Berklee College of Music and Manhattan School of Music. It documents continuing work in New York clubs and identifies both drums and classical violin as parts of her professional training and performance practice.[1]
The biography and Stanford Jazz faculty profile document teaching through Jazz House Kids, Jazz at Lincoln Center educational initiatives, public schools, and masterclasses. Stanford also records her appointment as a 2024–25 Mentor Fellow in its jazz program.[1][3]
Kerkezou’s first-party music page organizes recordings by instrument, separating drum-set credits from violin work. Its embedded album streams preserve the distinction between her sideman appearances and a leader catalog she does not claim.[2]
New York club practice
Her official biography documents recurring work across Birdland, Smalls, Mezzrow, Cellar Dog, and other city rooms.[1]
Drums and violin
Kerkezou’s training and music archive preserve her separate performance identities on both instruments.[1][2]
Jazz education
Her institutional biographies document teaching, mentoring, and school-program work in New York and at Stanford Jazz.[1][3]
