Accompanying at Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall
Dynamic classical, jazz, rock, and pop pianist and singing pianist for any event! Can learn any song quickly by ear!
Jason is as comfortable with the Classical/Romantic repertoire as with jazz standards, Broadway favorites, classic rock, and pop hits!
Exciting to watch and outgoing, he'll adjust the song selection and ambiance to suit your event. As a composer/arranger, he can also put together larger groups, create sheet music for other musicians, and improvise pieces/medleys/mashups.
M.M. from New York University and B.M. from Vanderbilt University (voted Best Performer by faculty) in Music Composition; 21 years of performance experience.

May 1, 2026Jason is a superstar. I had planned an event but was unaware of the full scope of the project. He was a huge help in putting it all together. I wish that I could give him 10 stars.

October 13, 2025If you’re looking for a talented pianist- I highly recommend Jason for your special event! The communication leading up to our event was great and he created a custom playlist based on our favorite artists including Marion 5, Taylor Swift, Coldplay, and many more. Many guests came up to me throughout the event saying how much they were enjoying his performance. Thank you, Jason!!!

June 25, 2024Jason is nothing short of incredible. He played for an event I was holding for over 400 people and had the entire crowd captivated. I can’t not say enough wonderful things, not only about what an incredible musician he is, but how professional he is as well. He was able to read his audience and play accordingly from the moment he started. 5 star performance all the way around!
