Misha Piatigorsky Trio with Gili Lopes (bass) and Samvel Sarkisyan (drums)

Misha Piatigorsky is a vibrant jazz pianist, composer and producer, hailed by the Boston Globe as the artist who “beautifully merges the worlds of serious jazz and pop,” — Misha blends powerful melodies with an unusual harmonic sensitivity. It's a sound with 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 leads a number of projects including his Trio and The Sketchy Orkestra – his innovative ensemble some 20 people strong. 

This trio will focus on Misha’s original compositions fusing together classicism with urban beats and world music.
