Bill Charlap Trio SAN JAVIER 2024

Jazz San Javier tiene el placer de ofrecer a los aficionados el regreso al festival de uno de los pianistas de jazz que mas admiramos. Bill Charlap es uno de los pianistas que mejor recrea los estandars y uno de los mas deliciosos solistas del bop y el hard bop.

Durante su carrera ha tocado con gigantes del jazz como Tony Bennett, Clark Terry, Gerry Mulligan, Phil Woods o Sheila Jordan, entre muchos otros.

Fue ganador del premio al mejor pianista de jazz del año 2003 otorgado por la Jazz Journalist Association y es el Director de los Estudios de Jazz en la William Paterson University en Wayne, Nueva Jersey.

Su maravilloso álbum con Tony Bennett “The Silver Lining: the songs of Jerome Kern”, confiere un gran valor sentimental a su visita al festival, tras la desaparición del gran Tony Bennett el año pasado. Pues dicho álbum, junto a los que grabó Tony con Bill Evans en los años setenta del siglo XX, ha sido uno de los mejores que grabó el legendario cantante en toda su carrera y uno de los hitos en la fantástica discografía de Bill Charlap.
