Jeff Gardner was born in New York and moved to Brasil in 2002. After classical piano lessons with Ruth Schontal and Ivan Tcherepnin he studied jazz piano with Jaki Byard, Charles Banacos, Don Friedman, and John Lewis, and harmony with Nadia Boulanger.
Jeff has played as a leader at major venues in five continents, including solo and trio concerts for German, French, Czech Republic, Slovak, and Polish national radio, and performances during Nice Jazz Festival, Drum Jazz Festival, Groningen Jazz Days, and countless others.
Jeff is a versatile musician, equally at home with jazz, new music and Brazilian sounds.
Jeff Gardner will share his knowledge with us by teaching at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel on 5 and 6 December. Both days will take place from 11:00 till 13:00 and 14:00 till 17:00, in room 140.
Everyone is welcome to attend this Masterclass for free and without reservation, a co-production with Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles.
