The 37-year-old pianist is at home in any generation, whether he's playing ageless standards like "Autumn Leaves" and "My Funny Valentine," exotic rarities like "Sous le Ciel de Paris," or Bill Lee's "Mo Better Blues" from filmmaker Spike Lee's movie of the same name.
Jacky has performed at some of the world’s most prestigious festivals and halls including The Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, McCarter Theater in Princeton, National Concert Hall in Tapai, China, Sumida Tripony Hall in Tokyo, Holland’s North Sea Jazz Festival Perugia Jazz Festival in Italy, Montreal Jazz Festival, Monterey Jazz Festival among many others. In addition to performing solo piano, trio and special appearances with Emanuel Pahud, Jacky has reunited with bassist Ugonna Okegwo and drummer Leon Parker as a collective band, touring as T.O.P. Their recent sold out tour was capped by a standing room only performance at the famed Sorbonne in the St Germain de Pres Festival in Paris. |
