Part of American Pianists Association’s Grand Encounters 23/24 season

December brings the return of 2023 American Pianists Awards winner Isaiah J. Thompson to The Jazz Kitchen. Always interested in exploring a variety of arrangements, he will bring a quartet including tenor sax, drums and bass to the stage.

NPR calls Isaiah “a young musician and composer with a mature touch and rare combination of talent, creativity, humility and honesty,” and Jay Harvey found his Awards performances “bouncy, inspired and delightfully witty.”
