"jazz star of the future," and that future has arrived.

PORTSMOUTH, N.H., March 29,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Jimmy's Jazz & Blues Club
Features 5x-GRAMMY® Award Nominated Jazz Pianist & Composer
CHRISTIAN SANDS and his Acclaimed Quartet on Wednesday April 24 at 7:30 P.M. Christian Sands is an emerging jazz force.
His abundant piano technique perfectly matches his conception,
accomplishing a much deeper musical goal: a fresh look at the
entire language of jazz. Whether it's stride, swing, bebop,
progressive, fusion, Brazilian or Afro-Cuban, Sands develops the
past while providing unusual and stimulating vehicles for the
present…and for the future.
"[Christian]
Sands is one of the most profoundly rhythmic young pianists
in jazz today."
"In addition to being a technically adroit, harmonically
sophisticated player, Sands is one of the most profoundly rhythmic
young pianists in jazz today."
— DOWNBEAT
MAGAZINE
"Christian Sands plays with a
restrained touch and a rolling command across the entire
keyboard."
— NEW YORK
TIMES
"Though he really made his debut as leader at thirteen on
'Footprints' (Stanza, 2002), Sands' growth has been exponential…'Be
Water' is his latest giant step forward, encompassing not only our
shared experience and imagination but our humanity too, and that is
a triumph no matter what age you are or find yourself
in."
— ALL ABOUT JAZZ (2021 Album Review of 'Be Water' -
GRAMMY® Nominated)
A deeply rich and soulful feeling can be heard in Christian Sands' music, characterized by his
infectious energy and spirit. It was that same spirit that caught
the attention of 8x-GRAMMY® Award-Winning Jazz Bassist,
Christian McBride, who asked Sands —
then 20 years old — to sit in at the Village Vanguard with his big
band, Inside Straight. That appearance led to Sands becoming a
member of bassist Christian
McBride's Trio, with whom he has toured throughout the
world. Their 2013 CD release, Out Here, received a GRAMMY®
Award Nomination for "Best Jazz Instrumental Album".
Since arriving on the scene, Christian
Sands has shared the stage with such jazz luminaries as:
Wynton Marsalis, Dianne Reeves, Sheila E., Tia Fuller, Gary
Burton, Terri Lyne
Carrington, Jason Moran,
Geri Allen, Ben Williams, Randy
Brecker, Terence Blanchard,
Louis Hayes, Patti Austin, Kirk
Whalum, and Wycliffe Gordon, among others.
Christian Sands has released 5
acclaimed albums on Mack Avenue Records since 2017. In 2021, Sands
was Nominated for a 2021 GRAMMY® Award for "Best Instrumental
Composition" for his album Be Water.
