En directo en Birdland Theater (Nueva York): Senri Oe Trio

Halloween night at Birdland. Expect the unexpected. On the most magical night of the year, something extraordinary is about to happen at New York City's legendary Birdland Theater. The music will cast its own spell --- and once it does, you won't want to break free. Senri Oe Trio takes the stage for two extraordinary nights --- four sets of music that defy category, blur boundaries, and just might bewitch you. Senri Oe is one of the most remarkable reinventions in contemporary music. Beginning classical piano at age three and discovering jazz at fifteen, he first rose to extraordinary heights in Japan: a multi-platinum recording artist, Japanese Grammy winner, actor, television anchor, and author --- a cultural icon whose name defined an era. At forty-seven, at the peak of his fame, Senri made a bold and deeply personal choice. He walked away from stardom, moved to New York City with his beloved dachshund, Peace, and enrolled in The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music. Under the mentorship of masters including Junior Mance and Aaron Goldberg, he reinvented himself from scratch. It was not a retreat. It was a return to his first love. Since his 2012 jazz debut, Boys Mature Slow, Senri has built a powerful international presence --- performing at the Atlanta and Detroit Jazz Festivals, headlining SummerFest for two consecutive years, and charting at #24 on JazzWeek in 2023 with his album Class of '88. These Birdland performances celebrate the worldwide release of his latest album, HOMEWORK (Global release: September 4, 2026) --- conceived in his Brooklyn living room and recorded at The Bunker Studio with bassist Matt Clohesy and drummer Ross Pederson, with mixing by Aaron Nevezie. HOMEWORK fuses digital and acoustic worlds into a soundtrack without visuals: brilliant, edgy, and profoundly human. Don't miss your chance to be part of something unforgettable. This Halloween, let the music haunt you. Senri Oe --- piano & all compositions Matt Clohesy --- bass Ross Pederson --- drums
