Description
Menlo Park native Taylor Eigsti has taken the jazz world by storm in the last few years. His 2006 album Lucky to Be Me received two Grammy nominations, and his most recent recording, 2008’s Let It Come to You, has earned wide acclaim. Since moving to New York he has gigged widely with his own groups, as well as in a duo setting with guitarist Julian Lage and other collaborative projects. Eigsti has also proved himself to be an ambitious composer, arranger, and bandleader. The title of his new project “Free Agency” reflects his practice of assembling ideas and influences from disparate musical sources the way a football team drafts players. The group’s sound features adventurous improvisation with an eclectic and unpredictable mix of rock and R&B rhythms, classical and jazz harmonies, and the layering aesthetic of electronic music. This performance will be an early opportunity to hear Taylor’s brand-new ensemble.More Info
