The Jazz Gallery Presents: Shai Maestro Quartet

This week, The Jazz Gallery welcomes pianist Shai Maestro to the stage for two evenings of performances. In his last appearance at the Gallery, Maestro presented his 2018-19 Residency Commission project—a book of lyrical-yet-athletic tunes for a chamber trio featuring Philip Dizack and trumpet and Joel Ross on vibraphone. Since then, Maestro has toured extensively with his home base trio of bassist Jorge Roeder and drummer Ofri Nehemya, as well as making special guest appearances at Antonio Sanchez's Music for Human Rights concert and ECM Records' 50th Anniversary Celebration this fall.For these performances at the Gallery, Maestro has invited Dizack to join his working trio to present a new book of music that will be recorded for a new album on ECM. To get a sense of how dialed in the trio is right now—and what sparks will fly when Dizack is added to the mix—check out a live performance of Maestro's tune "From One Soul to Another," recorded last month in Stockholm, Sweden.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OyvALjOLMIThe Shai Maestro Quartet plays The Jazz Gallery on Wednesday, January 29, and Thursday, January 30, 2020.
