The Sunday Jazz Brunch Presents
Youth Movement on the Keyboard
Air Date: 11/6/2022
We want to know: Can the new breed of pianists carry the torch lit by Thelonious Monk, Bill Evans, McCoy Tyner, Steve Kuhn, and so many other seminal figures in the pantheon of great jazz pianists? (Editor's Note: Marty knows that he left out a lot of folks.)
Here we have three new CDs, all top quality, from young leaders in the art of jazz piano. Let's have a little visit with each of them, shall we?
Alberto Pibiri
Born and raised in Italy, he finished the classical piano curriculum at Conservatory Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina in five years instead of the normal ten years. I think that would classify one as a prodigy. Surprisingly, after all that classical study, he found that his real passion was jazz, and he hooked up with Sheila Jordan and then with Dave Stryker. I think when you hear his version of Stardust, the first thing you will notice is the classical reference (check out the intro), and then you will notice the tremendous technical proficiency on the keys. This guy is one to watch.
Josh Nelson
I was talking with another pianist the other day and I mentioned Josh Nelson, as an example of an artist who is engaged in many projects all at once. I see his name everywhere. And there's perfect reason for that. He's very good! Or another way of saying it is: He is in demand! He does plenty of his own projects but he also appears with many other artists in their projects. His latest endeavor is with bassist Bob Bowman and Mr. Bowman's Collective. I'm sure you'll enjoy a track from the new CD during the second hour.
