Jazz Piano Concert with Berklee Professor at Northeast Harbor Library

NORTHEAST HARBOR—On Wednesday, August 20 at 5:30 p.m. the Northeast Harbor Library will host pianist and composer Laszlo Gardony for a free jazz performance featuring original compositions and reimagined standards.

Gardony’s music is best described as a natural meeting of jazz, progressive rock, European classical and folk traditions, and blues. Winner of the Great American Jazz Piano Competition, Gardony has been noted for his “fluid pianism” by The New York Times and two of his albums have made DownBeat Magazine’s “Best of the Year” list. “A formidable improviser who lives in the moment” (JazzTimes), he has performed in 27 countries and released 14 albums. Gardony is currently a professor of piano at Berklee College of Music in Boston and is on the faculty at Harvard University’s “Jazz Combo Initiative” program.
