Historically, the piano has been instrumental in shaping and transforming American music throughout the last century and will continue to do so as time progresses.

Musicians mastered the eighty-eight black & white keys on the instrument to become a voice and showcase their dexterity and creative talents through composition and improvisation.

The resulting music has been categorized as Ragtime, Jazz, Gospel, Boogie & Blues with their respective traditions and styles continued through these current disciples of the instrument and their masters.

Scottie “Bones” Miller (Blues & Soul) Taylor Streiff (Blues & Americana) Ptah Williams (Jazz & Gospel) Lisa Campbell (Blues & Boogie) Royce Martin (Ragtime & Jazz) Antonio Foster (Jazz & Soul)

So come experience an afternoon of American musical styles performed by this new generation of piano players as they reach for the summit of their skills on the mighty eighty-eights!
