    Jazz piano wunderkind Taylor Eigsti has accomplished more before the age of 20 than many musicians achieve in a lifetime. In addition to sharing the stage with David Benoit at age eight and recording his first CD at thirteen, Eigsti has opened for such artists as Diana Krall, Al Jarreau and Natalie Cole. With a new album, Resonance, out on Bop City Ta ylor Eigsti: and another due out in early 2004, this is one young pianist to watch.

Eigsti, long a favorite of the library’s Hot & Cool Jazz series having been its opening musician in 2007, performed this concert at Millstone – then the long-time home of jazz legend Dave Brubeck. The concert was recorded this past December, with Eigsti working his magic on Dave’s grand piano in the dramatic two-story music room where Dave composed so much of his famous music. Wilton resident Chris Brubeck, an award-winning composer and superlative trombonist and bassist, also sat in and jammed with Taylor on a few tunes. This will be a very special one-time concert broadcast. New York-based pianist and composer Taylor Eigsti started playing the piano when he was four years old and was quickly labeled a prodigy. He has since released seven albums as a bandleader, in addition to appearing on over 50 albums as a sideman. On May 21, 2021, Eigsti will be releasing his eighth album as a leader (and his first brand new album in eleven years), called Tree Falls on GSI Records.

  • Top 10 Jazz Albums of 2014 | the Village Voice
    MUSIC ARCHIVES The Village Voice’s Top 10 Jazz Albums of 2014 by DAVID R. ADLER December 8, 2014 With so many worthy jazz recordings in 2014 — from the likes of Vijay Iyer, Tyshawn Sorey, Melissa Aldana, Kris Davis, Ideal Bread, Otis Brown III, Fabian Almazan, Hafez Modirzadeh, and more — it was, as always, insanely hard to pick a top 10. But decide we did. Tese are the albums that stood out most in the year in jazz, from duo to big band and between. See also: Te 10 Best Jaz Albums of 2013 Ten Jaz Albums to Hear Before You Die 10. Tom Harrell TRIP After a stream of must-hear quintet outings, the veteran trumpeter sounds lithe and unencumbered in a sparser setting with no chords. Te compositions also ingeniously suit the band: Mark Turner on tenor sax, Ugonna Okegwo on bass, and Adam Cruz on drums. As it happens, the instrumentation is the same on Turner’s ECM quartet disc Lathe of Heaven, a serious contender for this list as well. 9. Walter Smith III Stll Casual Houston-born tenor saxophonist Walter Smith III, 34, gained major seasoning in bands led by Terence Blanchard, Eric Harland, and Ambrose Akinmusire, among others. Te quintet on Stll Casual, his fourth release, features pianist Taylor Eigsti, guitarist Matt Stevens, and others all but guaranteed to lift Smith’s highly melodic writing into the realm of catharsis. 8. Steve Lehman Octet Mise en Abîme Returning to the octet lineup of his 2009 release Travail, Transformaton and Flow, alto saxophonist Steve Lehman uses tuba, trombone, tenor saxophone, trumpet, alternate-tuned vibraphone, and rhythm section to conjure sounds of withering complexity and searing groove.

  • One of the Most Exciting Young Bassists in Jazz” — the New York Times
    “One of the most exciting young bassists in jazz” — The New York Times For more than a decade, bassist and composer Harish Raghavan has helped lay the foundation for a thriving generation of explosively creative artists. The 2008 Thelonious Monk Competition semifinalist continues to garner acclaim from critics and peers as a sound architect for original projects from Ambrose Akinmusire’s to Eric Harland’s. Other longtime collaborators include Logan Richardson, MacArthur Fellow Vijay Iyer, Gerald Clayton, Gretchen Parlato, Taylor Eigsti and saxophonist-composer Walter Smith III, who considers Raghavan an artist who “feels music deeply.” “[It’s] evident in his playing,” says Smith, who recently recorded In Common (Whirlwind Recordings) alongside Raghavan. “Beyond the choices of notes and rhythms, there is always an emotional drive behind his approach.” Born in Chicago, the New York-based artist began playing South Indian percussion Mridanga at age 7, transitioning to bass at 16. Raghavan’s appetite for a wide selection of styles and traditions has allowed him to craft an inclusive and deeply personal expression around both written and spontaneous composition. Slated for release in November, Raghavan’s debut album Calls for Action (Whirlwind Recordings) reflects nuances is his development as a composer and a band leader. Fifteen tracks of original music serve as a cohesive narrative for the album, as well as stand-alone suites on either side of its vinyl release. “The pieces range from reflections of key moments, to people who’ve had a profound impact on my life, while others are calls to ignite action,” says Raghavan, whose band comprises Joel Ross on vibraphone, Immanuel Wilkins on alto saxophone, Micah Thomas on piano and Kweku Sumbry on drums.
