Pianist/Composer
Grammy nominated jazz pianist, composer and producer, Silvano Monasterios, has performed, written and recorded with an impressive mix of artists throughout his career. With five records as a soloist, his sixth and more ambitious work to date, entitled "The River", will be released on April 4th of 2025. This suite composed for a nine piece ensemble was commissioned by Chamber Music America through their New Jazz Works Program with the support of The Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. You can now listen to the newly released first two singles from this extraordinary album on all major digital platforms!
“This music represents Silvano Monasterios’ intricate and often complex rhythms and improvised melodies, along with his technical sophistication and the passion that comes from ones culture and personality. This music is a tribute to the bravery and spirit of the Venezuelan people.” - Dee Dee McNeil, Making a Scene
​
..."In the end, Monasterios' idealistic River is as clear and peaceful as any such stream could be, thanks to his remarkable skills as writer, arranger and performer…”
- Jack Bowers, All About Jazz
​
..."Silvano Monasterios brings to mind the works of Gershwin—particularly in his approach to composition. Both pianists, both visionaries, they share a radiant conception of music, one that defies convention and delves into the finest details of arrangement to elevate each section of a piece, allowing the melody to assert itself with natural elegance.
- Thierry De Clemensat, Paris Move
