Pianist Aaron Diehl’s nuanced sound bridges the gap between jazz and classical music with sophistication. His trio, known from their Jazz at Lincoln Center performances, builds a program for piano, bass, and drums and explores the creation of musically diverse environments.
Aaron is a staple of the New York jazz scene, collaborating with artists like Benny Golson, Philip Glass, Cécile McLorin Salvant and more. His trio unites jazz standards with classical music, bringing them into focus, and infusing them with his trademark brilliance. His recent collaborations with ensembles like The Knights have invited listeners in for a taste of what Diehl has to offer.
Join Music Worcester at The Prior for a performance that’s fit for any musical palette.
There’s an entire world of jazz in Aaron Diehl’s playing . . . he makes the case that jazz is not one style or genre but many, gliding gorgeously among decades of artistic influences.
