Gleeson is a musician, synthesizer pioneer, composer, and producer. He worked with Herbie Hancock (the two are pictured here) on two albums in the early 1970s. Hancock initially hired Gleeson as a synthesizer technician and instructor, but ended up asking him to become a full-time band member. Gleeson worked with many other Jazz musicians — including Lenny White, Freddie Hubbard, Charles Earland, Eddie Henderson and Joe Henderson — and scored a number of film soundtracks, including The Plague Dogs, Apocalypse Now, Crossroads and The Bedroom Window. He has scored nine television series, including Knots Landing.
