About this concert
Sands, a protégé of the great Billy Taylor, is one of the most sought-after modern mainstream pianists on the scene. After completing his Master's degree at the Manhattan School of Music, he began touring worldwide, was a member of bassist Christian McBride's trio and accompanied the star among today's jazz singers, Gregory Porter. The title track of his current album “Be Water” was nominated for a Grammy in the “Best Instrumental Composition” category. He will certainly not withhold it from us.

Christian Sands Biography
The bungling, pianistic technique alone, which is captured in tremendous pressure, throws you back into your chair. Christian Sands, one of the young luminaries of contemporary jazz history, is peculiar and proclaims an almost singular high standard. Where does Sands hang out? In the former, equally uncharted territories of jazz development, which decidedly listens to the traditional theory of harmony as the foundation. But Sands doesn't make it easy for himself or even sit in nests he's made. With determination and with a highly developed individuality, he sets up his own creative space, where he relocates enlightened jazz classicism with fresh ambition and thirst for action. Sand's musical-cultural stance is deeply rooted in African-American jazz heritage.
