bassAbout
Pianist, composer, Berklee College of Music professor and former Gary Burton sideman Vadim Neselovskyi kicks off the Ridgeway Presents series with a stellar duo performance with Jeff Denson featuring new compositions, original arrangements and select solo piano pieces. A Ukrainian-born pianist, Vadim was classically trained at conservatories in his native Odessa and in Germany; honed his jazz chops on German jazz stages and at Berklee College of Music; and undertook his apprenticeship around the world as a member of master vibraphonist Gary Burton’s Next Generation Quintet. Burton, who included a number of Neselovskyi compositions in his repertoire, called him “a true genius,” noting “I don’t think I have ever met an improviser who has more surprises in store….” Discover a new jazz voice whose “pianistic power station” displays “virtuosity coupled with passion and soul” (Neue Musik Zeitung)....
