Winner of Herbie Hancock Competition, Jazz Phenom Jahari Stampley Trio Returns to Marin- 2 Shows!

"I thought I was looking at Art Tatum's second coming in a more modern form. He is just an amazing talent."- Herbie Hancock

Jahari Stampley is a Chicago-born pianist who began playing the piano at the age of 14. 

Winner of the 2023 Herbie Hancock International Jazz Institute Piano Competition and the 'Chicagoan of the Year' award, Jahari Stampley discovered his love for the piano at the age of 14, quickly honing his skills and earning recognition through competitions.

Jahari has toured with Stanley Clarke and is featured on Derrick Hodge's "Color of Noise" album, with performances at esteemed venues like Radio City Music Hall and Carnegie Hall. Before winning the competition, he released Still Listening which rose to #1 on Apple iTunes in the first weeks of the album's release. Still Listening blends Stampley's broad influences – from the church to electronica to the avant garde.

'Before crossing the quarter-century mark – when many musicians are walking across the stage with the ink still drying from the degrees and simply desiring to fit into an agreed-upon narrative artistically – Stampley defies the jazz norms and musical expectations placed on his generation. He plays from the heart, and you can feel the intrinsic depth in the delivery of notes from everyone on the album.' ULYSSES OWENS JR.

Jahari will be joined by Ofri Nehemya. Ofri Nehemya has marked himself as one of the most prominent Israeli drummers in the global jazz scene, collaborating with worldwide known artists including Avishai Cohen (bass), Ben Wendel, Shai Maestro, Omer Avital, and many others.
Born in 1994 to a musical family, Nehemya's love for music began in at the age 3, when he picked up the drumsticks.
A few years after graduating from Thelma-Yellin High School for the Arts, Nehemya moved to New-York City, his current base, continuing his musical journey.
Nehemya's drumming is unique, exciting, and uplifting, blending his Middle Eastern roots with influences from Fusion and Jazz music.

Jahari is joined by D-Erania Stampley, Jahari's mother, a Grammy-nominated musician in seven categories from Chicago IL. The 59th Grammy Awards Committee recognized D-Erania's "Language of the Heart" CD for seven ballot categories. "Language of the Heart successfully balances accessibility and imagination. D-Erania has created a work that has wide appeal without sacrificing originality, one with plenty of inspired artistry that is solidly mainstream. This record is a portent of a brilliant career for this promising and talented musician." - Chicago Jazz Magazine, Hrayr Attarian.
