George J. Gilliam is a much-loved jazz guitarist with a depth of talent that stands out in every performance and recording. With influences such as Wes Montgomery, Barney Kessel and George Benson, listening becomes a sheer pleasure.

Aug 24 at 8 PM: Arts Garage presents the Tal Cohen Jazz Ensemble. "A special talent that needs to be heard… Check him out!” – DownBeat Jazz Magazine

Tal Cohen’s unique piano style owes its roots to the Jewish folk songs and classical music he played in his formative years growing up in Israel. After moving to Australia at the age of 16, Tal continued his music studies at the prestigious Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts, where he completed his Bachelor degree jazz performance.

Currently, Tal is attending the University of Miami in the United States, where he received a full scholarship and teaching assistantship to complete his Masters degree under the mentorship of Martin Bejerano. During his time in the states he has had the opportunity to play with drummer Jeff “Tain” Watts, and West Coast-based trumpeter John Daversa.

One of the highlights of Tal’s career occurred when he received a call from Grammy Award-winning trumpeter and composer Terence Blanchard to play a show with his Quintet at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles. Blanchard also invited him to perform with the “Terence Blanchard Quintet” at the New Orleans Jazz Festival. Most recently, Tal appeared at the Perth Jazz Festival alongside acclaimed New York saxophonist Greg Osby.

“Tal Cohen is one of the brightest stars playing the piano to come along in a long time and has the promise of being at the top of the curve changing our minds about music.” –Terence Blanchard, DownBeat

As a guitarist he has played with artists such as Clara Nunes, Beth Carvalho, Alaíde Costa, João Nogueira and Cartola.

Guinga performs and composes a deep and sophisticated bench of songs connecting his love of jazz to Brazilian forms including samba, frevo, modinha, bossa nova and rural baião.

According to KPFA DJ Daniella Thompson (quoted by journalist Andrew Gilbert), there have been more than 155 recordings made of Guinga’s music on at least 100 albums in addition to his own.

His album Rasgando Seda, in partnership with Quinteto Villa-Lobos, released in 2012, was nominated for Latin Grammy as Best Instrumental CD of the Year. Roendopinho, released through Acoustic Music Records, was a critical success and was nominated for the “Prêmio da Música Brasileira” as Best Instrumental CD of the Year (2015).
