PIANO
Pianist Julian Shore is known for his “deep maturity as a composer and bandleader” (DownBeat), and his work as both a versatile sideman, and experienced bandleader has JazzTimes calling him one of the “leaders of the young jazz piano scene.” Bandcamp glows “his melodies are fueled by a powerful blend of contemplation and exploration. It’s just as easy to immerse yourself in any single moment as it is to be swept away by the entire epic journey.”
Based in New York, Shore has become one of the city’s most sought-after pianists. He has performed domestically and abroad with artists as varied as John Patitucci, Gretchen Parlato, George Garzone, Theo Bleckman, Chico Pinheiro, Brian Blade, Chris Speed, Sara Gazarek, Caroline Davis, Noah Preminger, Dave Stryker, Don Braden, säje, among many others. He’s appeared at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, Blue Note, Jazz at Lincoln Center and major venues and festivals across Europe, Asia and South America.
As an educator Shore remains active in a variety of settings. He was an artistic consultant for Herbie Hancock’s Master Class for masterclass.com, and transcribed and notated hundreds of pages of Herbie’s piano performance for the course. He teaches privately at the New School, through the New York Jazz Academy, and has presented workshops and masterclasses at universities and performance venues across the globe.
