Twenty-year-old Taylor Eigsti began playing the piano at the age of four and made his professional debut at the age of eight when he was invited to be the opening act for jazz pianist David Benoit. Since then, he has received much acclaim for both his technical proficiency and mature, intuitive style of playing.
He has appeared on stage with such well-known and respected artists as Dave Brubeck, James Moody and Diane Schuur. Taylor has also performed in other genres as well, playing with Sylvia McNair, Frederica von Stade and numerous major symphonies. He has also played for many important political figures, including former President Bill Clinton and Senator Bill Bradley. His trio includes drummer Jason Lewis and bassist John Shifflett, and he often performs with the Brubeck Brothers.
Taylor’s latest CD, “Resonance,” has garnered four-star reviews from many publications, including Downbeat magazine, All Music Guide, Billboard magazine, and Jazz Connection. The album moved to No. 5 in National Jazz Airplay for two weeks. Eigsti has released three other CDs as a leader.
