Pianist/composer
Laszlo Gardony celebrates the release of his ninth album, Signature Time(Sunnyside),
with his quartet. The album features originals and reworkings of Beatles and
jazz classics, paying tribute to African music's profound influence on today's
musical genres.
"The
lush palette of today's music owes a lot to the birthplace of culture and sound
of Africa," Gardony says. "The album is an acknowledgment of how the
many genres which draw upon the African musical heritage have enriched my own
cultural experience and helped shape my voice so that I can speak to what is
relevant to me today." The band consists of Laszlo Gardony (piano/composer/arranger),
Stan Strickland (sax, flute, vocals, kalimba), Yoron Israel (drums), and John
Lockwood (bass). LGJazz.com.

the second half of the show, faculty jazz pianist and composer Vadim Neselovskyi, called "the most promising of the young
improvisers" by the Guardian,
presents his new compositions with an exciting new band. http://www.berklee.edu/events/detail/9873/laszlo-gardony-signature-time-vadim-neselovskyi
