Isaiah Cross

Pianist Isaiah Cross debuts Sketches, a new ensemble concept where each musician contributes a distinct voice to create a fully realized artistic picture. Drawing inspiration from the conversational interplay of legendary piano trios led by Brad Mehldau, Keith Jarrett, and Ahmad Jamal, Cross joins bassist Lucas Giordano and drummer Will Stenberg to explore jazz standards and contemporary repertoire with nuanced chemistry. The trio balances thoughtful interpretation with spontaneous interaction, blending deep respect for jazz tradition with modern expression.
