Hailed as a “prodigiously gifted composer and virtuoso pianist,” James Fernando leads his dynamic Philly-based jazz trio with a refreshing take on the piano trio format. Known for their deep musical chemistry and engaging interplay, the trio crafts a joyful and exhilarating journey for listeners. Steeped in the tradition of jazz greats, they deliver a sound that is both familiar and forward-thinking, breathing new life into the art form. Their new album, Philly 3 (out February 2026), captures the group at their creative peak—melding inventive originals into a bold statement of what a modern jazz trio can be. Join us for this special album release show and experience the music live.
