Description
Acclaimed Jazz Pianist & Composer ALEX MINASIAN has established himself as a versatile pianist, educator, and impresario in many different musical genres. Alex has studied with some of the greatest pianists in jazz history, including Hank Jones, Don Friendman, Jean-Michel Pilc, and James Williams, and has performed in most of the country's most famous jazz rooms, such as Birdland, the Blue Note, Cafe Carlyle, Yoshi's, Bohemian Caverns, Herb Alpert's Vibrato, Iridium, Jazz @ Lincoln Center, and the Apollo Theater. Alex was the last pianist for the late iconic singer and NEA Jazz Master Little Jimmy Scott, and the last pianist/musical director for singer, actor, songwriter, and musical historian Billy Vera and his 18-piece big band.
