About the Presenting Artists(s)
Geoffrey Keezer is a GRAMMY®-winning pianist, composer, arranger and producer. A native of Eau Claire, Wisconsin, he began playing piano and composing at an early age. Keezer moved to New York in 1989, becoming the last pianist with the legendary Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers. He has toured and recorded with Ray Brown, Roy Hargrove, Art Farmer, Benny Golson, Barbara Hendricks, Wayne Shorter, Dianne Reeves, David Sanborn, Chris Botti and Christian McBride. Geoffrey has received numerous commissions and his music can be heard in films and in TV shows including The Young and the Restless, Parks and Recreation, and House of Lies. Pop icon Sting said “In the universe of piano players that I have been exposed to over the years, Geoffrey has proved himself to be not only a superb technician and improviser, but also above and beyond this, a composer and conceptualist who can maintain the overall line and the DNA of the song in everything he plays. A musician’s musician.”
