On 'The Short Years,' Ed Kornhauser's Jazz Is Of The Moment

Julia Dixon Evans

As a graduate in Jazz Studies from San Diego State University, Ed's artistry on the piano and keyboards has been praised by the San Diego Troubadour, dubbing him "one of San Diego’s top pianist/keyboardists." Ed is not only a solo sensation but also an integral part of The Matt Smith Neu Jazz Trio, and his collaborations with Grammy award-winning producer Kamau Kenyatta have produced acclaimed albums like "RETROgrade" and "I.Am.Calm." Join us as he brings these musical masterpieces to life on stage.

Before the concert, the CSUSM jazz ensemble will perform for our guest artist and receive feedback, which all are welcome to attend. Join us for an evening filled with exceptional music, community spirit, and the magic that only live performances can offer.
