Fresh off of winning his second GRAMMY® Award for his most recent album “Plot Armor” (GroundUP Music), pianist and composer Taylor Eigsti returns to the Jazz Gallery, this time reuniting with longtime collaborator, vocalist Becca Stevens, along with a stellar band of Kendrick Scott (drums), Maya Kronfeld (keys), Jonathan Maron (bass), and Marta Bagratuni (cello).
This time at the Gallery, Eigsti will be performing a combination of music from his past few GRAMMY®-winning albums, and premiering some previews of brand new music, trying out some ideas for the next album, and revisiting some of his extensive collaborations with Becca Stevens. Come be the first to hear some brand new creations by a band of close friends!
