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

Hi fnork,

First I must confess that I seldom listen to modern music.  My own repertoire doesn't go much beyond 1940.  Having said that, I listened to the Ligeti and Lindberg pieces and enjoyed hearing both!  I commend you on your playing.  Thanks for sharing your recordings here.

Now that was one short, sweet work. Ligeti is great, loved the rhythmic, steady opening, then the pyrotechnics building around 1:54, the abrupt but appropriate denouement. Your phrasing and sense of rhythm did great justice to this piece. I'm gonna order it and learn it! Inspiring.

Any thoughts on the title, "Empty String"? Meditations on the string theory? Alternate universes?

Whatever, I liked it!
