Taylor Eigsti, fresh off his Grammy win for Plot Armor, lights up the stage with his virtuosity. His dynamic interplay and impeccable technique create an exhilarating live experience, redefining the boundaries of modern jazz piano.

After winning Grammys  in 2022 for Tree Falls and in 2025 for his latest release, Plot Armor, pianist Taylor Eigsti continues to redefine modern jazz with his virtuosity, innovation, and fearless exploration. Known for his dynamic artistry, Eigsti performs with some of the most celebrated musicians in jazz, including Terence Blanchard, Lisa Fischer, Ben Wendel, and his own powerhouse ensemble.

A master of intricate melodies, infectious yet angular rhythms, and deep grooves, Eigsti seamlessly blends jazz, electronica, hip-hop, rock, and classical influences into a soundscape that is both exhilarating and unpredictable. His music thrills, surprises, and captivates, evoking everything from playful joy to introspective reflection.

For this special performance Taylor’s innovative quartet is joined by celebrated tenor saxophonist Ben Wendel. With Eigsti’s boundless energy and daring creativity and Wendel’s soloistic fire, this promises to be a genre-defying musical experience you won’t want to miss.
