Thursday July 5, 2018 | 08.30 pm | Reigen

 

The Florida based pianist presents his exciting new Trio project, which utilizes and re-interprets ‘everyday sounds’ captured during a 2- year period in 5 countries. These familiar ‘sounds’ and ‘noises’ are at the core of Gottschlich’s compositions and become a springboard for the Trio’s improvisations.

Markus Gottschlich, currently living in Miami, is a Steinway Artist, former Artistic Director of the Miami Beach Jazz Festival and founder of Jazz Academy Miami (JAM). He has toured the US, Asia and Europe and recorded with several Grammy and Latin Grammy Award winning artists.
