Pianist and composer Fabian Almazan, a native of Cuba now residing in New York City, found his musical roots as a child in his homeland of Havana where he first became involved in the classical piano tradition. In 2002 Almazan was selected to perform with the National 2002 Grammy High School Jazz Combo. During the completion of his bachelor s degree at Manhattan School of Music, Almazan immersed himself in the realm of orchestral composition studying instrumentation and orchestration. In the spring of 2009 he received a master s degree from MSM, selected as a recipient of the Michael W. Greene Scholarship, studying privately with Jason Mora. Recent awards and residencies include the Cintas Foundation 2010/11 Brandon Fradd Award in Music Composition, an award that has been historically granted to Cuban artists who have gone on to play an influential role in the development of Cuban cultural heritage, and the Sundance Composer s Lab 2011, where Almazan studied with such acclaimed film composers as Harry Gregson-Williams, Alan Silvestri, George S.

Fabian Almazan: what a force. This is a rising and remarkable force in jazz, and music in general. Writing and playing on a superb and immensely inventive level. A must hear.
