FROM NEW YORK: MISHA PIATIGORSKY TRIO

Thu, Aug 07

New York pianist Misha Piatigorsky brings his trio to Frankie’s Jazz Club on Thursday, August 7th. The trio includes NY drummer Rudy Royston and bassist John Lee. Hailed by the Boston Globe as an artist who “beautifully merges the worlds of serious jazz and pop”, Misha Piatigorsky’s blend of powerful melodies with an unusual harmonic sensitivity gives his sound a deeply personal yet cosmopolitan dimension, reflecting his experience as a Russian-Jewish émigré growing up in urban America. The great nephew of legendary cellist Gregor Piatigorsky, with international upbringing followed by international acclaim, he works in New York City to advance the modern jazz sound beyond the standards. He performs solo piano and trio concerts and is the creator of The Daddy Rabbit, an immersive “theater-in-the-round” speakeasy performance that has taken New York by storm. They will be joined by special guest, vocalist Emily Braden
