GRAMMY AWARD NOMINEE
2012 Twice, 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018…

A Maverick favorite for the obvious reasons, Fred has been proclaimed as “the most arrestingly innovative pianist in jazz” by Vanity Fair, and has long been defined as jazz’s creative edge in a wide variety of settings, from his breathtaking solo recitals and exploratory duos to his extraordinary trios and innovative chamber settings. This will be an incredible summer night of music with Gilad, who has been one of the most sought after jazz guitarists since arriving on the New York scene in 2004.

“Fred at the piano is like LeBron James in the basketball court.
He’s perfection!” – Jason Moran

NILSON MATTA BRAZILIAN VOYAGE QUARTET

Considered one of the greatest bassists in the world and a force in the evolution and popularity of Brazilian jazz, the Grammy-nominated Matta makes his Maverick debut the last Saturday of the season in a show that just may have you dancing in the woods. When Yo-Yo Ma sought band members to fill his new Brazilian project, Nilson was the obvious choice on bass. He recorded on “Obrigado Brazil”, “Live in Concert at Carnegie Hall” and “Yo-Yo Ma & Friends”. All of these were Grammy winners. So it’s no wonder our phones are ringing off the hook about this one!

“A powerhouse bass player!” – Downbeat Magazine
