André Weiss meets Dmitry Baevsky "…I've grown through the honor of working with such a talented, respectful, eager and open-minded artist as you" (Benny Green) "A pianist makes people happy" (Vinylfan) With these words, André Weiss describes his goal when he is on stage. Swing and Latin grooves make it hard for the audience to sit still. The pianist's joy of playing is infectious, and his musical and technical skills are consistently impressive. He has already demonstrated his talent on the stage of the Jazzkeller with world stars such as Eric Alexander, Grant Stewart, and Scott Hamilton. Together with his trio, which also includes Jean-Philippe Wadle and Dominik Raab, both highly regarded musicians, and saxophonist Ralph Moore, he recorded his debut album on tour in 2020. Dmitry Baevsky studied at the New School University in New York and has lived in the jazz metropolis for over 25 years. He is one of the leading alto saxophonists of his generation and has worked with Benny Green, Peter Washington, and Peter Bernstein, among others. Two jazz legends, Jimmy Cobb and Cedar Walton, play on the New Yorker's first album, with the latter leaving his mark on André Weiss's album with two compositions. Reason enough to honor him tonight. In addition to selected pieces by Cedar Walton, jazz standards and original compositions are on the program. Both jazz lovers and those new to jazz will thoroughly enjoy the performance.read more... read less
