Review:

This is the hundredth and thirty-seventh in a series of special Jazz on the Tube reviews of live stream performances.

Support live music – even when it’s streamed!

One of the top jazz pianists around today, Christian Sands grew up in Connecticut, had piano lessons from the age of four, and attended the Manhattan School of Music.

Sands first became well known as the pianist with Christian McBride’s Inside Straight.

Christian Sands has built his style out of the mainstream of jazz, developing his own voice and inventive style which can be heard on the nine albums that he has so far recorded as a leader.

On his May 2, 2020 LiveStream, Sands plays solo piano on Ray Brown’s “Gravy Waltz,” a few originals, and a lowdown blues, swinging soulfully and with constant creativity.
