“...one of the greatest living jazz pianists.” — LOS ANGELES TIMES

Don’t miss your chance to experience the enchanting music of two-time Grammy Award-winning jazz pianist Alan Broadbent and his trio! On Tuesday, March 28, the trio will be performing live at the Zinc Bar, featuring bassist Harvie S and drummer Billy Mintz.

An unsung hero of the acoustic piano, Alan Broadbent is a highly lyrical and melodic bebopper/post-bopper who has cited Bill Evans, Wynton Kelly, Tommy Flanagan, Nat “King” Cole, and Red Garland as some of his favorite pianists. Raised in New Zealand, he moved to Boston in 1966 to study at the prestigious Berklee College of Music. After staying on the road with Woody Herman (for whom he was a writer, arranger, and soloist) from 1969 to 1972, he settled in Los Angeles. Broadbent went on to work as a sideman for Chet Baker, tenor saxmen Warne Marsh and Gary Foster, and the late singer Irene Kral in the ’70s, and with Bud Shank and arranger Nelson Riddle in the ’80s.

The 1990s found him writing arrangements for Natalie Cole, Marian McPartland, Scott Hamilton, and others and playing alongside bassist Charlie Haden, tenor saxophonist Ernie Watts, and drummer Larance Marable in Haden’s Quartet West – a unique and conceptual L.A.-based group that is known for including bits of dialogue from film-noir movies between bop performances.

“Miki Hayama is an amazing young pianist with great chops, a great harmonic concept and a great imagination!” — Kenny Barron

Don't miss your chance to experience the enchanting music of GRAMMY-nominated jazz pianist Miki Hayama and her trio! On Tuesday, May 16, the trio will be performing live at the Zinc Bar.

Pianist, keyboard player, arranger, and musical director, Miki Hayama hails from Kyoto, Japan, but has made New York City her home.

With a degree in classical piano from the Osaka College of Music and jazz training from the renowned Sadayasu Fujii in Kyoto, Miki's love for jazz led her to work at numerous jazz clubs in the Kansai area after graduation. But that was only the beginning of her journey.

In 2003, Miki set her sights on the Big Apple and has been wowing audiences with her amazing talent ever since. She has had the honor of sharing the stage and recordings with some of the greatest names in the jazz world, including Kenny Garrett, Aretha Franklin, and Christian McBride, just to name a few.

Miki's own albums have also garnered much-deserved acclaim, with her 2006 release "Prelude to a Kiss" receiving a five-star rating in Swing Journal, and her 3rd studio album "Wide Angle" winning Swing Journal's Gold Disc Award in March 2009.

Not content to rest on her laurels, Miki has also lent her musical expertise as a side person on various recordings, including Tia Fuller's "Pillar of Strength" and Michael Dease Big Band's "Relentless". And if that wasn't impressive enough, she also served as musical director, arranger, and keyboardist on Nnenna Freelon's new studio album, "Time Traveler," which received a GRAMMY nomination and was released in May 2021.

It's no wonder Miki Hayama is such a respected name on the jazz scene—her talent knows no bounds!
