I met the great Gary Novak on the stage of San Siro before the show with Tiziano Ferro for the 2023 Tour.

Gary Novak is one of the greatest American drummers, with a unique style that fits various genres including jazz, fusion, rock, and funk, showcasing his adaptability and versatility.

Over the years, Novak has collaborated with musicians such as Alanis Morissette, Allan Holdsworth, Chick Corea, Michael McDonald, George Benson, Natalie Cole, and in Italy with Tiziano Ferro, Eros Ramazzotti, and Cesare Cremonini.
