Celebrate the release of Nick Sanders' new solo piano album Phantoms of Memory on Sunnyside Records, which pays homage to the classical roots of his musical style in a program mostly consisting of through-composed original music with inspiration from composers like Debussy, Chopin, Philip Glass, Schumann, and others. This music is a bold step in a new direction compositionally and is also the pianist's most accessible collection of music to date.

Nick Sanders was raised in New Orleans, LA and began playing piano at age 7 with a focus on classical repertoire. In high school he shifted his focus to improvisation and jazz and went onto study at the New England Conservatory under Fred Hersch, Danilo Perez, and Jason Moran before moving to New York in 2012. During his time in New York, he released 4 critically acclaimed albums on Sunnyside Records (his first two produced by Fred Hersch). He also played numerous gigs with his trio and as a side musician and built his own private piano teaching studio. He recently relocated to San Diego, CA during the COVID-19 pandemic and currently resides there.
