Joined by local musicians John Wiitala (bass) and Brian Fishler (drums), the trio will regale us with tunes from The Great American Songbook with a few Davidian originals peppered in. For lovers of Bill Evans, this is one not to miss!

No Moon At All - Live at Mezzrow, NYC 

“…a deeply talented pianist who maintains a delicate balance between forward thinking and jazz tradition…” – The Nashville Scene

“…what lifts Davidian’s playing above the crop of today’s young jazz pianists is the soul and commitment he invests in the music. Quite simply, he plays like he means it.” – JazzTimes 

Joe Davidian earned both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at the University of Miami. In 2019, Davidian won first prize in the Jacksonville Jazz Piano Competition, an accolade that deemed him an undeniable voice in the world of jazz piano. Most recently, his 20-year trio, The Lost Melody (with bassist Jamie Ousley & drummer Austin McMahon), released an album of original music entitled “New Songs for Old Souls” (2020) and is planning a 2022 release which pays tribute to their professor, the late, great Vince Maggio. Some of Davidian’s career highlights include recording three albums and touring internationally with drum legend Chester Thompson, performing at premiere NYC jazz clubs including Mezzrow, Dizzy’s and Birdland, serving as music director and pianist for singer/actor Tony Danza, and holding teaching positions at Belmont University, University of Vermont and Middle Tennessee State University.
