Vadym Neselovskyi
Whether as a pianist, composer, improviser, soloist or bandleader, Vadym Neselovskyi creates music that is truly inspired and wholly unique. This explains why his work has been played by jazz greats, such as Randy Brecker, Antonio Sanchez, Julian Lage, and Gary Burton, as well as classical artists (such as Daniel Gauthier, whose recording of Neselovskyi’s San Felio won an ECHO Classical Award) and symphony orchestras in the United States (such as the Spokane Symphony, Lancaster Symphony) and Europe (New Philharmonic Westfalen, INSO Lviv Symphony).
Neselovskyi’s most recent release, Get Up and Go (Jazz Family/Neuklang), earned a rare 4.5/5-star review from DownBeat, placing it amongst the year’s best releases. The album showcases the meaningful bond forged between the pianist and his gifted bandmates, bassist Dan Loomis and drummer Ronen Itzik, during a visit to Neselovskyi’s native Ukraine at a time of intense political upheaval. The trio’s chemistry has only deepened since that time, through tours of the US, Europe, Asia and Mexico, well-received appearances at the Village Vanguard and the Blue Note in New York City, and live broadcasts on France’s Arte TV and Germany’s WDR. The trio returned to Germany in 2019 for a live concert on the SWR network.
Neselovskyi has recently collaborated with John Zorn, who asked the pianist to contribute to his 11-CD set The Book Beriah (Tzadik Records), compiling the 92 compositions making up the final book of his 25-year running composition project, Masada. The disc features Neselovskyi playing solo, in a duo with pianist Craig Taborn, and with his trio.
