about

PIANADELPHIA is a celebration of fourteen pianists who live and work in the Philadelphia area. It is also a tribute to the history of Jazz in Philadelphia — the first great American art form, in the first great American city. Each pianist performs a composition by a legendary Philly Jazz artist, with many of the city’s most legendary players showcased alongside its more recent virtuosos.

Recording sessions were held in February, 2006, at Turtle Studios in Old City, and the studio's 1928 Steinway concert grand piano was the only instrument used. Within this setting, each pianist was left alone to reveal the full spectrum of styles and intentions within each composition, as well as the common threads that tie all the composers and players to an extended musical family.

In the popular imagination, “Philadelphia” represents independence, history and freedom, the cradle of American ideals. It‘s no surprise, then, to find a rich Jazz tradition here, as well as a vibrant and pulsating community of Jazz musicians in the present. We are grateful to have had this chance to honor and showcase the gifts of those musicians.
