It's been a long time since Cathy has delivered a performance workshop! I guess she/I was just waiting for another brilliantly interesting pianist to show up!
Well...here he is!!!
We will run you through your song, give you kind & expert critique, & you will be excited to see how you've improved your craft!
Pianist students are welcome as well.
There is a REAL ART in accompanying singers!
John Di Martino is a composer, arranger, jazz pianist, producer and educator, based in New York City.
"John DiMartino is a first-call veteran of the New York City jazz scene. This multi-recorded artist has long been a favorite of singers for his gigantic ears and intuitive, uncluttered playing—rare gifts that also enhance any instrumentalist he accompanies or arranges. DiMartino is a fine musician who sounds less interested in technical pyrotechnics than in mining a melody for its original intent—whether he's arranging or playing, he lets the essence of a song speak for itself. "
- Dr. Judith Schlesinger (All About Jazz)
"John's soul and being come straight through to his music, the jazz world needs him! " - Sheila Jordan ( NEA Jazz Master )
John Di Martino is one of my absolute personal favorite pianists of today. His music is an honest outpouring of light!
