Visionary pianist Tarek Yamani in trio with Martin Masakowski and Peter Varnado. Born and raised in Beirut, Yamani is a Lebanese-American pianist, composer, producer, and educator whose music fuses African-American jazz with Arabic rhythms and maqam traditions in a genre often called Afro-Tarab. A self-taught jazz musician who discovered his calling at 19, Tarek has won prestigious honors — including the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Composers Competition — and shared stages with luminaries such as Wayne Shorter, Zakir Hussain, Esperanza Spalding, and Brian Blade. His acclaimed albums like Ashur, Lisan Al Tarab: Jazz Conceptions in Classical Arabic, and Peninsular blend improvisation, global rhythm, and deep cultural inquiry. Expect a rich, boundary-pushing performance that bridges tradition and innovation — a night of jazz that resonates far beyond genre.
