“In the universe of piano players….Geoffrey has proved himself to be….a composer and conceptualist who can maintain the overall line and the DNA of the song in everything he plays. A musician’s musician.” – Sting

With his highly regarded discography, unique compositions, and acclaimed performances in a variety of configurations, pianist Geoffrey Keezer commands the attention typically reserved for the living legends of jazz. Whether recording with Diana Krall or Dianne Reeves, touring with trumpeter Chris Botti, or collaborating with Sting, Wayne Shorter, Jim Hall, Christian McBride or Joe Locke, Geoffrey “has more than enough virtuosity and sheer musical wit and intelligence to weave all of his apparently disparate strands of influence into an original and compelling whole” (Time Magazine).

“…a rich, clear and earthy voice that was both rhythmic and free…strong in voice yet vulnerable in spirit, conversant and still melodic as she delivered the lyrics of resignation…This lady needs to be heard…”- LA Jazz Weekly

Gillian Margot is the rarest sort of singer – the kind that makes people sit up and listen – an exquisite voice, a disarmingly wide range and a style deeply rooted in the tradition of the great jazz vocalists. She possesses a gift for storytelling and emotionally intelligent delivery, refreshingly free of “jazz singer” clichés. Trained as a vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and dancer, Ms. Margot feels equally at home in jazz, R&B and pop, honed through years performing at major venues with top-tier talent from several continents.
