David Kikoski Quartet

“The brilliant playing of David Kikoski just smokes. His playing is sparkling.” – Chick Corea Few pianists command the bandstand like David Kikoski. A fixture of the New York jazz scene since the ’80s, Kikoski’s lightning-fast lines, deep swing, and boundless creativity have made him one of the most in-demand musicians of his generation. Whether leading his own projects or elevating ensembles alongside icons like Roy Haynes, Michael Brecker, Chris Potter, and John Scofield, his playing is always electrifying. With over 20 albums as a leader and countless recordings as a sideman, Kikoski’s artistry speaks for itself. His Grammy-winning work with the Charles Mingus Big Band and a 2024 Grammy nomination for The Charles Mingus Centennial Session further cement his place in jazz history. His music is a thrilling blend of post-bop fire, lyrical elegance, and an unmistakable edge. Experience a true jazz master in action as Kikoski brings his signature sound to Black Cat!
