Monday, October 7, 2024
The fast rising pianist will make his solo debut at Ronnie Scott’s on 7 November with his powerful trio showcasing his dazzling technique and the group’s thrilling energy
Winner of the 2023 Herbie Hancock International Jazz Institute Piano Competition, Jahari Stampley discovered his love for the piano at the age of 14, quickly honing his skills and earning recognition through competitions. Stampley and his trio will be visiting London this autumn for the first time and play Ronnie Scott’s on 7 November.
Stampley has toured with bass legend Stanley Clarke and is featured on Grammy Award winning bassist/ producer Derrick Hodge's Color of Noise album, with performances at esteemed venues like Radio City Music Hall and Carnegie Hall.
Before winning the competition, he released Still Listening which rose to #1 on Apple iTunes in the first weeks of the album’s release. Still Listening blends Stampley’s broad influences – from the church to electronica to the avant garde.
Another extraordinary facet of the pianist’s band is his mother D'erania Stampley on bass, sax and bass synth – and the group’s firecracker of a drummer Jungkuk Kim.
