“John di Martino's middle name should be 'taste', for he conveys that quality in both solo and supportive roles, in jazz as well as Latin music.” —Ray Barretto

Acclaimed jazz pianist John di Martino brings his quartet to Zinc to celebrate the music of composer Billy Strayhorn on Tuesday, September 27. He’s supported by tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander, bassist Boris Kozlov, and drummer Carmen Intorre.

John di Martino has been described by Paul Pines as a musical "shape shifter", inhabiting three different worlds. As a straight-ahead jazz pianist, he has performed and recorded with such notables as Kenny Burrell, Pat Martino, James Moody, and Eddie Gomez. Mr. di Martino is a sought-after musical director and has accompanied Jon Hendricks, Diane Schuur, and the late Billy Eckstine.

Showtimes are at 7:00 PM and 8:30 pm. Tickets: $25 advance / $30 day of show. For more info, visit http://zincjazzcom.

Featuring Music from Copland House Siwoo Kim and Suliman Tekalli, violins Kathryn Lockwood, viola Alexis Pia Gerlach, cello Michael Boriskin, piano PROGRAM Gabriela Lena Frank: Four Folk Songs John Musto: Piano Quintet (World Premiere) Leonard Bernstein: Piano Trio Ticket holders are invited to a post-performance ‘OFFBEAT/ONSTAGE’ talk with the artists. Three vibrant works trace personal journeys of three generations of important composers, and their connections to inner selves, outer worlds, and the relationships between them. The iconic Leonard Bernstein’s early Piano Trio, written as a teenager in the 1930s, mirrors the creative tensions, evolution, and emergence of an extravagantly-gifted young artist discovering his artistic voice. Gabriela Lena Frank’s Four Folk Songs for Piano Trio is centered around identity, roots, and the composer’s engagement with the traditions of her Peruvian-Chinese-Lithuanian-Jewish ancestry. Highlighting the program is the World Premiere of Emmy Award-winner John Musto’s Piano Quintet, a new chamber version adapting his orchestral Sinfonietta celebrating life and commemorating the loss of a close friend.
