Ian Gilley Interview: Retro-Futuristic Jazz, Synths, & the Story Behind His Debut Album “Gilley”

Denver-based keyboardist, composer, and producer Ian Gilley sits down with Jazz Odyssey's alldaywes at KUVO Studios for a deep dive into his musical journey, creative philosophy, and debut solo album.
Blending vintage synthesizers, jazz fusion, R&B textures, and modern production, Ian breaks down how his sound was shaped by legends, his upbringing, and years of collaboration in projects like Diastrata, Nightcap, Midnight.Blue, and the Flamingosis Live Band.
In this interview, Ian talks about:
• Moving from Arkansas to Denver and finding his musical voice
• The influence of artists like Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, and George Duke
• His love for analog gear, Moog synths, and Fender Rhodes
• Learning music outside traditional schooling
• The power of collaboration and community in shaping his sound
• The deeply personal story behind his debut album “Gilley”
• Why he’s releasing music on his own terms
• Building a live show experience for his album release at Dazzle (May 1st)
This is more than just an album—it’s a statement about identity, legacy, and authenticity in music.
🎹 If you’re into jazz fusion, synth-driven music, or creative independence, this is a must-watch.
