JULIAN WATERFALL POLLACK

Friday, January 21, 2011, 8 pm

At the age of twenty-two, pianist Julian Waterfall Pollack has the jazz community abuzz with his mature, technically ferocious, and dynamic piano playing. A classically trained pianist, Pollack has unleashed into the world a singular blend of music that combines his love for today's popular music styles and a respect for the classical tradition.
His second release, Infinite Playground,was given the highest rating by the San Francisco Chronicle saying that the new album "provides ample evidence that Pollack is a ferociously assured and creatively dazzling pianist, composer and arranger."

Pollack attended Berkeley High School in Berkeley, California and was the principal pianist of the Award-Winning Berkeley High Jazz Ensemble and was the leader of the Award-Winning Combos. He served as the principal pianist for the San Francisco Bay Area's preeminent honors youth ensemble, the SFJAZZ All-Star High School Ensemble, for his four high school years, making him the very first "full-scholarship" student of the program. He will be joined by bassist Noah Garabedian and drummer Evan Hughes.
