Karrin Allyson
Nominated for five Grammys, Karrin has delved into bop and blues, pop and Great American standards, as well as composed her own songs.
Her highly regarded 2001 album “Ballads: Remembering John Coltrane” was a beautiful rendering of the songs on Traneโs 1963 classic, plus three other numbers associated with him.
On 2015โs “Many a New Day”, Karrin paid tribute to Rodgers and Hammerstein in the distinguished company of legendary pianist Kenny Barron.
Karrin will be singing with a great band, assembled just for this concert:
The artistry of NYC pianist John DiMartino can best be described by his peers:
โJohnโs soul and being come straight through to his music, the jazz world needs him! โ โ Sheila Jordan (NEA Jazz Master)
โJohn Di Martino is one of my absolute personal favorite pianists of today. His music is an honest outpouring of light! โ โ Benny Green (Jazz Pianist)
โJohn di Martinoโs middle name should be โtasteโ, for he conveys that quality in both solo and supportive roles, in jazz as well as Latin music.โ โ Ray Barretto (NEA Jazz Master)
โJohn DiMartino is a first-call veteran of the New York City jazz scene. This multi-recorded artist has long been a favorite of singers for his gigantic ears and intuitive, uncluttered playingโrare gifts that also enhance any instrumentalist he accompanies or arranges. He lets the essence of a song speak for itself. โ โ All About Jazz
