A Jazz Piano Christmas 2025 – But not at the Kennedy Center
For more than three decades, “A Jazz Piano Christmas” at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. has been a quiet highlight of the holiday season for jazz and piano lovers. No fixed formulas, no “seasonal jazz” clichés — just strong pianistic voices working with familiar material. This year, the live concert is on pause. Here’s what changed, and where pianists can still turn for meaningful jazz piano Christmas listening and playing. Read more

Recommendations for digital pianos
on: December 15, 2014, 06:17:08 PM
Hallo,

I need to buy a new digital piano, my old one was a Kawai ES3 (weight: 19 kilograms - 41 pounds) and now I would like to have something better in sound quality and something lighter.
In general here are some features I need:
  • Full Graded Hammer Keyboard
  • Different high quality piano sounds
  • USB midi and LINE OUT jack connectors to connect the piano to amplifiers
  • Weight < 15 kilograms (33 pounds)
  • Maybe also the possibility to mix sounds (e.g. piano and strings)
  • Price < $745

I went to a store and they suggested the following models:
  • Casio Privia PX-A100 (anniversary edition) - price: $721
  • Kurzweil MPS10F  - price: $882
  • Orla Stage Talent  - price: $596

I like Casio PX-A100 but I'm not sure those models are the best I could find below that price (I excluded the Kurzweil because I don't like the sound and the weight is 18 kilograms (39 pounds).

So do you have any advice about a model to buy?
I'm used to play at home and especially to make concerts, besides I have been playing piano for 11 years and I since I started to play graded hammer keyboards I have always played Kawai ES3 so I'm not an expert about models and other features etc...

Thanks
