George Howard has worked and collaborated with several musicians and he had also a career as a leader. In 1982, Howard published his first album, titled "Asphalt Gardens", and in 1984 he published the second, "Steppin' Out". Both works were well received by public and critics. In 1985, the Howard's third album, "Dancing in the Sun", scaled the Billboard jazz album chart, to number 1. Each of his next three albums, "Love Will Follow", "A Nice Place to Be" and "Reflections", had a good success. His final album, "There's a Riot Goin' On" was released posthumously (one month after his death).
