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

I have heard many recordings by this pianist...but know nothing about him/her (I don't even know the gender :-\)!!!  Has anyone seen him/her in concert?  If so how was it?  Also, has he/she recorded the Bartok piano concertos?  I really liked his/her rendition of Schumann's Carnival Op. 9.

Cheers!

You should make a poll, I don't know either.

Have a look here:

By the looks of the photos in the above sites I would say it is a “he”. ;D

Google Jeno Jando and you will get over 10000 links. :P

Best wishes,
Bernhard.

I like Jando quite a lot, I just LOVE his WTC recording´but I would prefer less humming. His Beethoven is very nice but sometimes, quite dry.

Must people on here seem to like his Transcendental etudes recording, but this is the one thing I can't listen to. I think he slaughters some of these etudes but then again, 50 times better than I will ever play  8)

Thanks for all of your replies guys and girls!  Has anyone seen him in concert?  Also, where can I find a complete list of his repertoire?  I know on the Naxos site you can find his recorded repertoire, but this doesn't necessarily indicate the full extent of his repertoire (but man this guy plays everything it seems!)

the recording companies have figured out how to prevent the humming. They realized he doesn't hum when smoking and since he can't smoke in a recording studio, they stick a pen in his mouth. Result: no humming.

The Quiet Revolutionary of the Piano – Fauré’s Complete Piano Works Now on Piano Street

In the pantheon of French music, Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) often seems a paradox—an innovator cloaked in restraint, a Romantic by birth who shaped the contours of modern French music with quiet insistence. Piano Street now provides sheet music for his complete piano works: a body of music that resists spectacle, even as it brims with invention and brilliance. Read more
