One of the top jazz pianists around today, Christian Sands grew up in Connecticut, had piano lessons from the age of four, and attended the Manhattan School of Music.
Sands first became well known as the pianist with Christian McBride’s Inside Straight.
Christian Sands has built his style out of the mainstream of jazz, developing his own voice and inventive style which can be heard on the nine albums that he has so far recorded as a leader.
On his May 2, 2020 LiveStream, Sands plays solo piano on Ray Brown’s “Gravy Waltz,” a few originals, and a lowdown blues, swinging soulfully and with constant creativity.

Most musicians are self-employed.
If you set yourself up as a business and you’ve filed with the IRS, you may qualify for stimulus help.
It’s not going to be easy, but it is doable and may well be worth the effort.
This guy makes it as clear as it possibly can be – and time is of the essence.
He’s also got lots and lots of other useful videos on the stimulus program.
Note: This video is applicable to ALL self-employed people.
This is a strange topic for Jazz on the Tube but we have A LOT of self-employed musicians as subscribers.
If you want some fresh music, explore our 2,500+ video archive or our nearly 100 podcasts.

Review:
This is the fifty first in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Vijay Iyer is considered one of the most significant jazz pianists of the past 20 years, a deep thinker whose music is always unpredictable and creative.
He had 15 years of classical training as a violinist but was mostly self-taught as a pianist.
Originally Iyer had planned to become a physicist (his undergraduate degree is in math and physics) but instead he turned towards music, performing locally in the San Francisco Bay area and in 1994 working with Steve Coleman and George Lewis.
Since the late 1990s he has worked with a long list of notable artists in the jazz avant-garde including Rudresh Mahanthappa, Wadada Leo Smith, Roscoe Mitchell, Oliver Lake, Henry Threadgill, Yosvany Terry, and many others in addition to leading a couple of dozen albums of his own and also making his mark as a composer and an educator.
Some of Vijay Iyer’s most accessible playing is as a solo pianist and he is heard in that setting on this LiveStream from Apr. 27, 2020.
The music starts about five minutes in as Iyer launches into a 20-minute improvisation that sometimes hints a little at Thelonious Monk and builds up in intensity as it progresses before becoming quieter and utilizing a bassline a bit reminiscent of Lennie Tristano.
He follows it up with a Duke Ellington ballad, a concise original, a fresh interpretation of “Night And Day” and a spiritual piece.
This LiveStream serves as an excellent introduction to Vijay Iyer’s playing.
