Additional show - Shai Maestro Quartet

Due to the high demand, we are offering an additional show.

"I always try to pay tribute to the history of jazz without wanting to be someone else - but to let the music flow out of me," says pianist Shai Maestro. He initially played classical music as a child. He came to jazz via Oscar Peterson and Keith Jarrett. He won several piano competitions, but turned down a scholarship at the famous Berklee College of Music. Instead, he went on tour with bassist Avishai Cohen shortly afterwards and built up an excellent reputation as a sideman. Soon afterwards, Maestro formed his own trio in Brooklyn, which went on to release highly acclaimed albums on the ECM label. "Listening to Shai Maestro is like waking up in a new world", marvels All About Jazz, and a very real one at that. Because, says Maestro: "We live in the world of Photoshop and artificial intelligence, where all bodies are perfect and all music is quantized. You just want to shout out: Give me something that's real!"
