“听到Shai Maestro三重奏的声音如同打开了新世界的大门：一个充满奇迹、兴奋、美丽和不确定性的世界。撩人的声音、喜悦的表达、深沉的反思和紧张的强度一次次的被带到前面……这些故事有其独特的撩人、刺激和绚烂。”——Dan Bilawsky, All About Jazz (2015年8月)

“你必须自己来发现Maestro，Roeder和Ravitz所创造的美。”——Peter Hum, The Ottawa Citizen (2014年6月) 

“Maestro闪亮的和弦和充满动感的乐曲——被Ziv Ravitz用快节奏的钢琴和鼓交替奏出，突出了音乐家热情的、饱含情感的作曲。”——Mike Flynn, Jazzwise Magazine (2014年4月) 

“……Shai Maestro，醉心于节奏，给予我们充满动感的音乐。琴键不间断的滚动，琴声与鼓点的对话堪称劲爆，从民谣直捣朋克。Maestro小心的避免演出变成一场不成熟的闹剧，他把自己的风格加诸旋律，有时浪漫，却从不过火。”——Louis Michaud, Les Inrockuptibles (2012年6月) 

以色列出生的Shai Maestro（1987年生人）是同一年代*出色和天才的钢琴家之一。自打2011年与秘鲁贝斯手Jorge Roeder和鼓手Ziv Ravitz*参与了三重奏演出，Shai*形成了强烈而独特的个人风格，表现出出色而流利的音乐才华，让Shai和他的三重奏成为了当今爵士界*影响力和和谐的组合。

Maestro五岁那年，在Irena Krivatz的指导下开始弹奏古典钢琴，并光荣地毕业于以色列Givataim的Thelma Yellin High School of Performing Arts。在2002和2003两次赢得the National Jazz Ensembles Competition “Jazz Signs”和在2004-2010荣获美以文化基金会针对爵士钢琴的出色奖学金后，Maestrocan 在波士顿参加了伯克利音乐学院（Berklee College of Music）的五周暑期表演项目，在此他获得了进入伯克利全日制课程的全额奖学金——但他*终婉拒了。

Maestro的直觉被证明是明智的：几周之后，他收到了贝斯手Avishai Cohen的电话——Cohen因与Chick Corea长期的合作及作为乐团领队成功的履历而闻名。Maestro被邀请与鼓手Mark Guiliana一同参与Avishai Cohen三重奏组合（Avishai Cohen Trio）。

Maestro在Avishai Cohen Trio录制了四张专辑，包括两张Blue Note Records的：《Gently Disturbed》 (2008)，《Sensitive Hours》 (2008)，《Aurora》(2009)，和《Seven Seas》 (2011)。三重奏组合在全球巡演并参加了多个世界*的音乐节，包括巴黎的奥林匹亚宫（Olympia Hall）以及维也纳和柏林的的音乐厅等等。

在2010年七月，Maestro与秘鲁贝斯手Jorge Roeder和以色列鼓手Ziv Ravit一道组建了他自己的三重奏组合。几个月之后，三重奏组合为法国厂牌Laborie Jazz录制了颇受欢迎的首张专辑《Shai Maestro Trio》。三重奏组合开始了紧锣密鼓的全球巡演，在一年中表演了多达80场音乐会，与Chick Corea, Tigran Hamasyan, Esperanza Spalding和Diana Krall带领的乐团一同登台。在2012年，这个三重奏组合发行了他们的第二张Laborie Jazz专辑，名为《The Road to Ithaca》，这张专辑成为了他们富有个人色彩的宣言，标志着向本质的回归：原生。

跟随着充满思想的乐曲，Shai Maestro三重奏组合分别在2014年10月和2016年11月发行了*新的两张专辑《Untold Stories》和《The Stone Skipper》。听众和媒体，包括DownBeat Magazine, NPR, BBC, JazzFM, TSF, 以及WBGO的The Checkout，交口称赞。通过这些专辑，Maestro进入了他艺术生涯从未有过的新阶段。这个三重奏组合*此成为当今爵士界*富影响力和和谐的乐团。

除了他的三重奏乐团，Maestro还与传奇制作人Manfred Eicher合作录制了歌手Theo Bleckmann近期的ECM（一个慕尼黑厂牌）专辑。Maestro也得到了来自Mark Guiliana的爵士四重奏专辑Family First（2015）的喝彩。

Maestro目前在准备他第四张专辑——也是他迄今为止*富野心的一张，他将邀请三重奏组合以外的艺人参与制作。“尽管我们一起表演了很长时间，我仍感觉像刚刚起步一般。我对前途仍然充满了好奇。”Maestro说。

这张专辑计划将在2018年通过一家知名爵士厂牌发行。

 “Hearing the Shai Maestro Trio is like awakening to a new world: a world of wonders, excitement, beauty, and uncertainty. Sounds of intrigue, expressions of joy, introspective thoughts, and heightened intensity all come to the fore at one time or another. . . these stories are all gripping, exhilarating, and gorgeous in their own way” – Dan Bilawsky, All About Jazz (August 2015)

“... You owe it to yourself to discover the beauty that Maestro, Roeder and Ravitz make” – Peter Hum, The Ottawa Citizen (June 2014)

“...Maestro’s shimmering chords and dynamic build ups – always capped by whizzing piano and drum cross-currents from Ziv Ravitz – highlighted the pianist’s impassioned, emotionally rich compositions” – Mike Flynn, Jazzwise Magazine (April 2014)

“...Shai Maestro, obsessed with pacing, offers us dynamic music. The notes scroll in a continuous burst, his dialogue with his drummer is explosive, going from a ballad to offensive punk. Carefully avoiding engaging a riot of immature virtuosity, aptly- named Maestro imposes his style on this thin line, sometimes romantic, but never in excess” – Louis Michaud, Les Inrockuptibles (June 2012)

Israeli-born pianist Shai Maestro (b. 1987) is one of the most promising and talented pianists of his generation. Since his debut with his own trio in 2011, together with Peruvian bassist Jorge Roeder and drummer Ziv Ravitz, Shai has shaped a strong and unique personal identity and has portrayed an incredible musical fluidity, making Shai and his trio one of the most powerful and harmonious groups in the jazz today.

Maestro began playing classical piano at age five under the instruction of Irena Krivatz and graduated with honors from the Thelma Yellin High School of Performing Arts in Givataim, Israel. After winning the National Jazz Ensembles Competition “Jazz Signs” in 2002 and 2003 and receiving excellency scholarships 2004-2010 from the America-Israel Cultural Fund for jazz piano, Maestro attended Berklee College of Music’s Five-Week Summer Performance Program in Boston, where he was awarded a full scholarship to attend Berklee full-time—an offer Maestro ultimately declined.

Maestro’s intuitions proved right: just a few weeks later, he received a phone call from bassist Avishai Cohen, known for his long-time collaboration with Chick Corea as well as for his successful band-leading career. The bassist called to invite Maestro to join the Avishai Cohen Trio with drummer Mark Guiliana.

Maestro recorded four albums with the Avishai Cohen Trio, including two on Blue Note Records: Gently Disturbed (2008), Sensitive Hours (2008), Aurora (2009), and Seven Seas (2011). The trio toured the world and played at some of the world’s most

renowned venues and festivals, including Olympia Hall in Paris and the Vienna and Berlin Concert Houses, to name a few.

In July 2010, Maestro formed his own trio with Peruvian bassist Jorge Roeder and Israeli drummer Ziv Ravitz and just a few months later, the trio recorded their well- received first album, Shai Maestro Trio, for the French label Laborie Jazz. The trio began an intense schedule of touring the world, playing up to 80 concerts a year and sharing stages with groups led by Chick Corea, Tigran Hamasyan, Esperanza Spalding, and Diana Krall. In 2012, the trio released their second album for Laborie Jazz, entitled The Road to Ithaca, making an even more personal and intimate statement, going back to the essence of their being: unedited and raw.

Following that line of thought, the Shai Maestro Trio released their most recent albums Untold Stories and The Stone Skipper in October 2014 and November 2016. Listeners and the media outlets alike, including DownBeat Magazine, NPR, BBC, JazzFM, TSF, and WBGO’s The Checkout, received the albums with critical acclaim. With these albums, Maestro entered a new phase in his artistry: taking time, fearing less, daring more, and allowing the music to unfold organically, more than ever. Especially live, the natural developments made the trio one of the most powerful and harmonious groups in the jazz today.

Besides his trio, Maestro recorded on vocalist Theo Bleckmann‘s upcoming album for Munich-based record label ECM in collaboration with legendary producer Manfred Eicher. Maestro has also received critical acclaim appearing on Mark Guiliana’s Jazz Quartet’s album Family First (2015).

Maestro is currently working on his fourth album, which will be his most ambitious project yet, featuring an extended cast of musicians in addition to the core trio. “Even though we have been playing together for quite some time now, it feels like the beginning. I’m very curious to see where the road will take us,” says Maestro.

The album set to be released in 2018 under a major jazz label.
