Aaron Diehl
In 2014 virtuoso jazz pianist Aaron Diehl become one of the youngest musicians in history to be named a Monterey Jazz Festival Commission Artist, and he’s been living up to the honor with jaw-dropping performances ever since.

The tunes were ala MJQ, which are fine if you're into that kind of thing, but it was a little background-music for my taste. Really needed a horn to cut through the monotony of similarly timbred instruments. Again, really good players, but victims of the set list and limitations of the soundboard and the instruments. We left after the first hour after fighting falling asleep. In fairness, it was a Friday night show after a long and tiring workweek. I wanted to like it much more than I turned out to.

If you are a jazz and classical music lover, then this is the quartet for you! Mr. Diehl's artistry and composition were rich in the classical and jazz tradition. I have never heard anything quite like it. Beautiful and sometimes unexpected melodies and harmonies. The instrumentalists were all stunning and so musical. Bravo!
