Part of Hancher's 52nd Season

Part of Club Hancher

A first-call pianist for Wynton and Branford Marsalis takes audiences to the American South via his insistent groove.

When we get a text from Branford Marsalis, we pay attention. And when it comes to one of his favorite pianists working today, he told us: “Sean Mason: The real deal. Finally a concept based on actual music instead of theory.” Our theory is this: you will love the highly melodic, wholly infectious music Mason composes and performs with his stellar quartet. His debut record, The Southern Suite, is a roadmap to his music—a map that should lead you to his Club Hancher performance.

“Mason's music … is also exceptionally groovy — as he puts it, ‘my purpose is to play dance music,’ citing ragtime and stride piano as two of his greatest inspirations, along with early hero Ray Charles.”  NPR’s Jazz Night in America
