Spire Lobby Series: Laszlo Gardony Quartet on the Mainstage (Plymouth)

Winner of the Great American Jazz Piano Competition, pianist / composer Laszlo Gardony has been noted for his “fluid pianism” by The New York Times, and the legendary Dave Brubeck called him “a great pianist.” Two of his albums made DownBeat Magazine’s “Best of the Year” list as well as the Boston Globe’s “Best Jazz Albums of the Year” list. “A formidable improviser who lives in the moment” (JazzTimes), Laszlo has performed in 27 countries and released 14 albums on the Sunnyside, Antilles and Avenue labels. He is a professor of piano at Berklee College of Music in Boston and on the faculty at Harvard University’s “Jazz Combo Initiative” program. Laszlo is a voting member of the Recording Academy/GRAMMYs. Gardony has performed and/or recorded with artists such as Dave Holland, Miroslav Vitous, Eddie Gomez, David “Fathead” Newman, Randy Brecker and Dave Liebman. His music is filled with the improvisational magic of jazz, the power of rock, and sophistication of classical music. Gardony continues to divide his time between composing, recording, concerts, and teaching, and he remains, above all, committed to living an inspired, truthful and productive life in music.
