The Jazzschool Piano Sale
Los Angeles based pianist, Max Haymer, is thrilled to bring his trio to the piano store for the first time. Known extensively for his work as the pianist for 10x Grammy Winner Arturo Sandoval, as well as Jazz Vocal Icon Jane Monheit, Haymer also is making waves with his own "high energy" piano trio. Specializing in re-imagined Broadway and Jazz Standards, as well as Afro-Cuban Jazz, Haymer promises to deliver a memorable show for all that come to enjoy!
