Joanne Brackeen, jazz pianist and educator, has been described as “one of the greatest living pianists hands down; no footprints!' ( Metroland) Whatever the musical setting – solo, duo, trio, quartet, or quintet – Yamaha Artist and 2018 NEA Jazz Master Brackeen's unique style of playing commands attention.

Her sound was honed through periods of apprenticeships with some of the world's greatest names: Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers (the first and only female member), Stan Getz and Joe Henderson. In addition to her captivating and complex improvisations, Brackeen has recorded 25 albums as a lead musician and appears on more than 100 recordings in total. She has written over 300 intricate and rhythmically daring compositions in a wide stylistic range. Brackeen maintains an active worldwide touring calendar, headlining and playing to sold-out and standing room-only crowds. Most recently at the Kennedy Center, at the Newport Jazz Festival (where her solo piano concert was named one of the best live performances of 2017 by the New York Times) and at the Monterey Jazz Festival where Jazz Times magazine declared her trio 'a most revelatory and favorite act of the evening”, and proclaimed: 'After years of listening to her albums, the first time hearing Brackeen live, and with such a responsive ensemble, felt like transitioning from black-and-white TV to the Technicolor Land of Oz.'

Brackeen balances touring by teaching as a professor at Berklee College of Music and at the New School, by conducting master classes and residencies and by adjudicating competitions. Tom Chapin’s career spans five decades, 26 albums and three Grammy awards.

In addition to his work as a recording artist and concert performer, he has acted on Broadway, as well as working extensively in television, radio and film. As a music-maker, Tom has maintained two long and productive parallel careers, both as a respected contemporary folk artist and as a pioneer in the field of children's music.
