About Taylor Eigsti and Friends

“Eigsti exudes fearlessness and joy, secure in the belief that he can make music with anyone.” —Variety

Pianist Taylor Eigsti has been busier than ever since winning a Grammy for Best Instrumental Album in 2023. Having just released another new album this February called Plot Armor, Taylor is back on the road with Terence Blanchard, Lisa Fischer, Ben Wendel, and his own group. 

And no surprise. Tons of great musicians love playing with him, and thousands love listening to him. Taylor weaves together intricate melodies, rhythms that are angular yet infectious, and deep grooves into a soundscape that’s anything but predictable. You’ll hear echoes of electronica, hip-hop, rock, and even classical, all seamlessly blended into a sonic journey that will captivate you. His passion and energy are astonishing yet inviting, drawing you into the heart of his music. He’ll conjure a kaleidoscope of emotions – from playful joy to introspective reflection.

This will be a special first-time meeting of these four musicians, all of whom have a lot of independent history. Taylor will also be adding a lot of SJW faculty artists, too!
