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

piano concerto with brass band

on: April 06, 2005, 08:51:34 AM

Hello everyone!

Who knows some good concerto's for piano and brass band? I only played the Gershwin, and heard an interesting Stravinsky- recording (Toradze, what a performer!). Do you think there are any transcriptoins available of the standard piano concerto's?

Bye,

Ernie

I did a wonderful arrangement of Shostakovich's second piano concerto with the Grimethorpe colliery band in the UK last year. Arranged by their main conductor Elgar Howarth. Much fun!

Great piece!

Since a conductor in Holland asked me to look for a good transcription, I'm very interested too. Could you provide me with some e-mail - adress to contact this Howarth? I wonder if the material is available for rent.

Thanks for the tip,

Ernie
