Gerald Clayton Trio
Porgy & Bess 20.00
30-year-old American jazz pianist Gerald Clayton learned from greats such as Kenny Barron. He places great importance on virtuousity, discipline and a playful style.
He has worked with Diana Krall, Roy Hargrove and Hank Jones. His debut solo album, “Two-Shade”, came out in 2009 and proves Clayton to be a mature musician.
His current release is called “Life Forum” on which he again impresses with both his strong melodies and artful change of rhythms.
