Description
James Weidman's website features reviews, sound bites, recordings, newletter,
biography.
New York-based pianist James Weidman is indisputably one of the world's top sidemen. Over the years he has played and recorded with musicians as diverse as Max Roach, Woody Herman, Archie Shepp, James Moody, Greg Osby, and Marty Ehrlich.

He has also been the accompanist of choice for some of the world's most celebrated singers, including legendary jazz vocalist Abbey Lincoln and Cassandra Wilson. Clearly, Weidman -- described by New York Times jazz critic Ben Ratliff as playing "smoothly and decorously" behind Lincoln at a recent reunion concert -- is one those rare accompanists to whom singers feel it is safe to give free rein ...

Jazz pianist Jimmy Amadie's website features reviews, sound bites, teaching activities, biography, books and records for sale, etc ...
For more than thirty years, Jimmy Amadie has been recognized as one of the premiere jazz educators in the world. But before he dedicated his life to teaching, the 67-year-old Philadelphian was known primarily as a full-speed ahead bebop pianist and sideman to greats like Mel Torme, Woody Herman and Coleman Hawkins.

In the 1960s, Amadie was diagnosed with acute tendonitis, and eventually he was forced to abandon playing the piano entirely. New medical treatments and a series of operations allowed Amadie to return to the ivories around ten years ago, although he could only play once a month, and just a few minutes or so, before unbearable pain would cause him to stop.

Eternally optimistic, Amadie decided in the mid-1990s to record some of his favorite standards plus a few of his original compositions, which he accomplished at a rate of one song-and one take-at a time, with a period of months elapsing before he would be physically able to play again. Amazingly, Amadie's first-ever album, a collection of solo piano performances titled Always with Me, appeared in 1996, earning him accolades for both his sterling musicianship and indefatigable spirit. Reviewers noted Amadie's "elegant touch" and his "strong, swinging expression," and before long he was being featured in the top jazz magazines and on CBS's popular TV program "Sunday Morning with Billy Taylor" and National Public Radio with commentator Scott Simon ...

Pianist Steve Kuhn's website features reviews, sound bites, recordings, biography.
Brooklyn-born Steve Kuhn was fascinated with jazz very early in his life. He began classical piano lessons at age five and soon began to "improvise and syncopate the classical repertoire."

In his early teens, Kuhn studied with legendary teacher Margaret Chaloff who schooled him in the "Russian Technique", an invaluable tool for tone production and projection. Chaloff's son, Serge, baritone saxophonist for Woody Herman, hired the 13 year-old pianist to play in his group. Throughout his teens Kuhn continued to play in Boston jazz clubs with visiting celebrities; Coleman Hawkins, Chet Baker and Vic Dickenson.

After graduation from Harvard College, Kuhn attended the Lenox School of Music where he met and played in a group with fellow-students Ornette Coleman and Don Cherry. The faculty included Bill Evans, George Russell, and Gunther Schuller. While at Lenox, Kuhn met trumpeter Kenny Dorham and began a two-year stint, interrupted when Kuhn was asked to join John Coltrane's newly-formed quartet.

Kuhn next joined Stan Getz's band, which included bassist Scott LaFaro ...

Pianist Jonny King's website features reviews, sound bites, itinerary, books, biography, cds.
Described by Downbeat as "one of the strongest piano voices of the new generation," Jonny King has played jazz piano since the age of nine. He was born in 1965 in New York City, where he made an early acquaintance with piano legends Teddy Wilson and Earl "Fatha" Hines. Exposure to these seminal pianists, along with an impromptu performance with Dizzy Gillespie when King was only ten years old, fueled King's interest in jazz.
Although King is primarily self-taught, he did study privately in the early 1980s with the late bebop pianist Tony Aless and rising star Mulgrew Miller, who would become one of King's key mentors, Whenever school or another gig allowed, King also spent his free time in the fertile environment of Manhattan's jazz clubs. By the time he was a teenager, he was already working as a sideman in the New York clubs, and he found himself sitting in with the likes of Art Blakey and many other jazz qreats.

King's musical career has taken him all over the world, and he has played extensively throughout the United States, Europe, South America, and Asia. As a bandleader, he is a regular presence in the New York club scene, where he often features his own ensemble at Sweet Basil, The Jazz Standard, and the now defunct Bradley's and Visiones. As a sideman, he has toured the world as a member of Joshua Redman's Quartet and performed with the Blue Note Records cooperative band, OTB. He has also been privileged to work with many of today's finest musicians, including Christian McBride, Ralph Moore, Bobby Watson, Kenny Garrett, David Sanchez and Joe Lovano, Roy Hargrove, Tom Harrell, the late Eddie Harris, Jesse Davis, Randy Brecker, Vincent Herring and numerous others ...

Pianist and jazz educator Eli Yamin's website features sound bites, reviews, activities, bio, etc ...
Eli Yamin started playing piano as soon as he could reach the keyboard. His enthusiasm for music, creativity and community through song permeates his work as a performer, composer, educator and broadcaster. In the often times hackneyed field of jazz keyboard Eli Yamin brings a freshness and a riotous joy. Through his energy and intellectual curiosity, he makes you feel you’ve never heard jazz piano before. He has toured internationally, recorded, and performed with the Illinois Jacquet Big Band, the Walter Perkins Trio, Perry Robinson, Solar and the Claire Daly Quartet. He was musical director and pianist of the tenth anniversary tour of “Duke Ellington's Sophisticated Ladies,” blending his love of theatre with his love of jazz. Shortly after, he met playwright Clifford Carlson at the Louis Armstrong Middle School in Queens, NY and together, they founded the Jazz Drama Program.

Now in it's sixth year, the JDP's mission is to develop and produce new musicals for young people that draw on the vast heritage of America's classical music-jazz-to tell stories that are immediate, expressive and useful to children. The Jazz Drama Program is at the forefront of arts education in the 21st century and has premiered five original jazz musicals in seven productions. JazzTimes calls it "the hippest move in jazz education, ever " ...
