After a stunning performance last season, Christian Sands is back in Baltimore by popular demand! Though not yet 30, Sands is one of the most in-demand pianists in jazz. In the last few years he has toured around the world as a bandleader and recently appeared as a sideman on records by Christian McBride and Gregory Porter. Sands takes a fresh look at the entire language of jazz: stride, swing, bebop, progressive, fusion, Brazilian and Afro-Cuban.  DownBeat  describes Sands as “an imaginative composer, a clever arranger and a skillful technician with a fluid style.” See what all the fuss last year was about and come here this thrilling pianist and performer.
