Internationally, he became widely known in the 1970s for his inventive arrangements and virtuosic electric piano and synthesizer playing. His breakthrough came with his version of Richard Strauss' "Also sprach Zarathustra (2001)", which became a hit single and earned him a Grammy Award, helping to establish him as one of the key figures in jazz-fusion and crossover jazz. Over the decades he has collaborated with numerous major artists and contributed to many successful projects across genres, which has cemented his reputation as a versatile and influential musician.
